Cable for Macintosh Keyboard<->Machine

[Raven]

I have four Mac keyboards that don't have a wire coming from them - instead they act kinda like a hub for peripheral devices. However, I don't have any cables for them. I could tear apart a mouse or two and make a cable, probably, but I'd rather buy one or two of them from someone.

Anybody have some of these?

don't know if you have ADB or USB. If it's ADB, just use a S-Video cable.

ADB, and I did notice that it looks just like an S-Video cable, but I didn't know if it was a straight-through wiring or if something trickier was going on. I'll do that, thanks. Out of curiosity, what do you do when it is USB - need a special male<-> male USB A cable?

All the Mac USB keyboards I've seen have had a permanently attached USB cable.

I agree with Thrashbarg. I have never seen a USB keyboard where the system-side connection isn't a permanently-connected cable. If you have one with JUST two USB type A connectors, then someone cut off the system-side connection cable.

Although I do have a wonky USB hard drive case that has a only a single USB A port, and comes with a funky A-to-dual-A cable (second system-side plug is for power.)
