hello there is a CH FIGHTER STICK for macintosh joystick, can you tell me how to convert it for PC USB?
Dear René! I just finished restoring and retr0brighting a beautiful Apple Extended Keyboard II and it looks like new again. Looking for a way to connect it to my Hackintosh I found your very interesting video. Although I have not much of an idea about soldering I just gave it a shot. Did not bother going without the resistor and it worked immediately! Thanks for sharing your video!
I found that tmk adb_usb when I was trying to figure out how to connect a USB keyboard to a vintage Macintosh. I ended up getting a "Wombat" from Big Mess o' Wires. It works in both directions (ADB USB)!
Thanks for the video! I have the same keyboard I think, still not sure whether i'll prefer to add a USB adapter internally or make an external one as you have :)
as it is my only ADB keyboard, and I have an 8100/80, I will keep it like this to also just plug it into the Power Mac 8100. I guess it could probably work if you connect it internally additionally in parallel, so that ADB works as it should, and USB when you plug that in. 8100/80: ruclips.net/video/bMDI5LTR-GA/видео.html
awesome video. anyone know of a solution to allow i usb optical mouse to work with an old mac? I have an Amiga 1200 with a cheap adapter that gives me the ability to use ps/2 compatible USB mice to work with it. I figured there must be a similar adapter out there for old Macs
You can DIY such an adapter using a small cheap micro pcb like this, maybe it even is already ready made in the firmware source repository I used ,-)
@@renerebe i did find this product $66 with shipping and casing.. a bit more than the amiga options i found in the past, but it should do exactly what i need.. if i'm going to do any extensive work in a adb era computer.. having an optical mouse will just be the best! :) www.bigmessowires.com/usb-wombat/
Looking to convert the same keyboard, and we also have the same trackball.
Was the Teensy used for a specific reason or just because you had it?
Because the upstream project supported it and I exceptionally wanted it to just work :-) I ordered it just for this adapter dongle project.
Whats the name of your main keyboard? It looks good.
That's a Filco I got for PS/2 vintage compatibility: ruclips.net/video/XZtwmZQo-Z0/видео.html you may also like my newer, USB only Tex Yoda 2: ruclips.net/video/3ojdjQovNOQ/видео.html
@@renerebe Thanks! They look very clean and i really like that. Might consider getting the Filco one.
But can it be done from USB to ADB?
sure, nearly everything is possible ;-)
I love those things tho it makes me sad that way too many use the arducrap IDE. It severely reduces their performance and code density :/
Yeah and I need a camera assistent or just film more carefully to have all action captured ;-)
and you will need all the "performance and code density" in an ADB converter ...
Actually for high polling rate, yes - I already even saw changes reducing it for some other uC. I think it’s best when new coders learn to directly program without fancy and colorful IDEs and frameworks. I know some who can only write slow framework code even after five years or even ten :-/!
@@rasz For this? Most likely not. :) The problem is that people take on bigger and bigger projects with time and they still refuse to learn how to actually use the hardware to its full potential.
I think the Arduino IDE is great for starting out.
Can it be connected to a pendrive?
it depends, what exactly do you mean by that?
@@renerebe Well, if the machine (the OS) would be able to read from the pendrive. As it would if it was a B&W G3.
are we walking about the same video and topic? The vide was about using an Apple ADB Keyboard, ..!?
@@renerebe I must say I didn't watch the whole video yet. But I thought you would be able to conect an USB keyboard (or mouse) on the ADB port, and make the machine work with it? I ask because I have a 8100 also and would like to make it compatible with some modern devices...
ah, now that makes sense ;-) actually it is the other way round, this is for connecting the ADB keyboard via USB to a modern USB machine, like Intel Mac, or PC. Connecting USB via ADB will not just work. One could make USB keyboard works in a similar way, but certainly not a pen drive. Unless you site a special ADB serial driver, pulling the data slowly out over the ADB bus.
