Classic Macintosh KeyBoard Conversion

[CaryMG]

Have a look at this keyboard > "Macintosh128K" KeyBoard

Sweet, huh ?

Is there a way to attach it to my Macintosh SE/30 computer ?

Thanks In Advance!

I seriously doubt it. The keyboard for the original Macs used an RJ11 type connector. The SE/30 uses a regular old ADB port. But anything is possible, I suppose, if you have the determination and know-how. How handy are you with electronics and soldering irons? Can you tell the difference between a resistor and a 555 timer chip?

About 10-15 years ago, the local Salvation Army store had a whole pile of these things. I had absolutely no interest in them. Now, the Salvation Army doesn't accept computers anymore. Probably because of stuff like this. Weird, huh?

Thanks for answering, pee-air !

Is it possible just ta snip the RJ11 jack off & replace it with an ADB one ?

No.

I don't think this will do MacPlus to ADB, but if you really want it to happen, it's where I'd start...

talking about keyboards, if I were you, I would buy Apples new wireless keyboard and connect it to your PC, it looks pretty same cool as the old one [] ]'>
