Can i use an s-video cable as an adb cable? They use same connector, but are cables the same? Thanks.

It's the same mini-DIN design, so you can

K thanks. Now I can use my 1992 apple adjustable keyboard!

Well, once I get a adb to USB adapter

Holy crap, you frightened the life out of me, I thought you were going to try to hook up an ADB keyboard to an S-video port... never mind, I didn't read it properly, my mistake.

Yes, because the cables have linear connections to the ports, can use either cable to connect either bus AS LONG as you aren't using a seven-pin connector on a four-pin jack. That's not gonna work,

K good.

My free keyboard didn't come with cables, and I know we don't have adb cables, but I know we have s-video cables

The keyboard costed 220$ in 1992, I got it for free on craigslist. It's nice mechanical, split apart keyboard, with big wrist wrests and separate num pad with wrist wrest

Score. Just hope and pray that it actually works. That would be brilliant. I've bought keyboards at the Salvo that turned out to be broken...
