Greetings,
I've recently acquired a Macintosh SE. The SE boots and I have a new old stock mouse that happily drags the pointer and lets me click.
I also acquired a delightfully clicky AEK II (big one with all the F-keys) and alas, when I connect it to my SE the ADB bus locks up. Each of the keyboard's three status LEDs illuminate and stay that way no matter what num or caps lock I press. I can't move the mouse, even if the mouse is connected directly to the Mac's other ADB port.
I disassembled the keyboard and found corrorsion inside - it mustn't have been stored in ideal condtions. But it was sold as "working" so presumably the seller tested it on a newer Mac? I'm not certain. Would anyone have experience of using an AEK II on a Mac SE? Is this an otherwise known problem?
