This contradicts what an Apple employee (I believe) posted some long, long time
ago on a c.s.mac.* newsgroup. He said they designed it for the Mac and didn't 
test it with the IIGS. They were pretty surprised when they noticed that it 
didn't work with the IIGS. There's no anti-GS circuit built-in or so, but it's
incompatible anyway.

Again, the adjustable keyboard does NOT work. Neither the keyboard nor the
keypad nor both together. (Unplugging both should work, actually :) )
