i have an old g3 powerbook keyboard. the powerbook died and i took it apart and tossed most of it. and was just wondering if there is anyway to convert the ribbon cable to a usb port so i can use it as a secondary keyboard for my g4 powerbook. not that im cheap to buy a keyboard, just am curious if it would work.
much thanks
S

The keyboard on the G3 is ADB, Not USB like the modern ones. You need to convert it to run on ADB, then get a USB to ADB adaptor. Not too common these days.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
