Is this request even in the realm of possiblity? I had almost forgotten about that product. When I first got a 512 (somewhat modified), I read about a hardware product (ADB Adapter) that would be available soon. You were supposed to be able to put old keyboards and mice on new Macs and new Keyboards and mice on old Macs. I kept waiting to read about its release, but I'm afraid it never made it to market. I'm sure there were a few ads and even a comment or two from writers in MacWorld or MacUser. Has anyone else ever seen this device? Shirley Kehr P.S. I couldn't wait, so I bought the Datadesk Keyboard and the Honeywell trackball. I couldn't use Word without the cursor keys and didn't have room for a mouse, especially one that didn't track too well. That's why I stopped following the ads for ADB adapter.
