Hey all,
I recently found an old Mac Plus, that eventually I want to get working. In the mean time, I would like to be able to use the keyboard it came with, as it's all old and clacky. Unfortunately, it comes out 4-pin RJ11, and I can't figure out what to do other than to plug it into a phone line and start sending text messages (kidding).
How would I go about converting from RJ11 to USB? Would I have to use PS/2 as an intermediary? Can it be bought off the shelf? If not, I'd be fine wiring it up, but I do want to preserve the current cable (i.e. buying a female end and using that) so I can use it with the Mac Plus when (if) I ever get it up and running.
Thanks for the help!
