I use a PS/2-to-USB adapter on a beige G3 running 10.2.8...using it was a
simple matter of plugging it in. It allows the Mac to share the Focus
keyboard (nice and clicky) and Microsoft optical mouse that I use with my
x86 boxen (they're all connected through a KVM, so the only extra keyboards
on my desk are an ADB keyboard for a Quadra 610 and the built-in keyboard of
the "stealth GS").
