ahh, this bites. I get a free IIGS but with no keyboard cable.
Simple I figure, same cable as the Mac so I'll hit the local computer
stores for it.
Nobody has it.
Computer City had none, (thus quoth the salesdroid "is that
Apple or PC?"), the nearby office supply superstore had none, Sears
has none, the locally based store which does Apples had none (and by
the look of things, is closing up too. =^(
So then I noticed ADB plug is more or less a mini-din plug
with less pins and that plastic thingy and getting kind of desperate
I pondered the idea of taking an extra IWII printer cable I have and
breaking off the extra pins. (and using it until I find the genuine
thing) Anyone else resort to such measures? And any rewiring necessary
for the four pins?
