The only ADB keyboard incompatible with the IIgs is the adjustable job. Even
it won't zap anything, it just doesn't work. I've used an original standard
keyboard, a standard II and an extended II with my IIgs. I never tried the IIgs
keyboard on the Mac but I've seen where people say it works. Why would it not?
