Ok, here are the options:

Either use a NeXt keyboard on a Mac AS the primary keyboard, or have a way to remap the whole thing to Macros, and have a "command board" to do all sorts of stuff.

Why do I ask here? because we have some serious hack-heads around; because NeXt systems were 680x0 based, and while it might be slightly off-topic, I don;t think anyone will yell at me. :-)

Hacks in the Mac OS, or UNIX systems are acceptable.

I don't think NeXT keyboards are ADB based, but I'll report back in a minute about them.

no, they are serial port based.

check the link, marchie. i think the later NeXT revs went ADB, there are mice and keyboards available for NeXT that are ADB on that site! i've seen them on eBay too!


btw, there may be a way to disable the DuoDock's built in video! i'll post later in the minidock graft thread.

Yes. Early ones were serial, later were ADB...

That was a long minute...

Unfortunately, the machine room is locked, so I can't check...
