newton keyboard and mac, possible???

[vollspacken]

o.k., I'm doing this crazy case mod on a f***t-up Mac SE and I was wondering wether you could use the funky little newton keyboard on the normal ADB port? it's such a nice looking thing and has a perfectly compact form-factor...

I know that the newton keys lack the power-on switch, but you'll have to turn it on and off on the back anyways...

so, does it work?

thanks

I could have sworn I read somewhere that it won't work.

Try the Newton FAQ, it may answer this question...

The only way you know for sure is totry it out. When it doesn't work, no harm is done!
