For cabling, an S-Video cable works as
a suitable replacement for ADB cabling incidentally.


Although it may work, using an S-video cable for an ADB cable
puts the ADB signal on the shield of one of the coax cables,
while ground is the inner conductor on the other cable!

If the two shields are connected together (not unusual), then
the ADB signal is also connected to the keyboard "power" switch.

In short, not recommended even though it may work.
