Most ADB keyboards should work, but some have problems producing a true 
Reset signal.  A lot of the newer ADB mice have special software that of 
course doesn't exist for the GS.  Plain vanilla ADB mice should work fine.

FWIW, I'm using a designed-for-Mac extended keyboard (Micro Warehouse) 
and a designed-for-Mac trackball (Identity Systems) on my GS.  Both work 
great.  Since I have a ROM 3, the Caps Lock key & light work like they 
should.  And it produces a true Reset.  :)
