Went back to the local college and picked up an auto inject drive that works in my Quadra 660av (first drive that works!) and a AppleDesign 'board. Nothing major, but this does help, time to rig a ADB to USB cable!

time to rig a ADB to USB cable! I assume you're kidding, but on the slight chance you're not, DO NOT DO THAT.

You assumed right. How much do ADB to USB cables cost?

Quite sure mine works with 10.4. It works with everything else I've thrown it at.
It's a USB HID device. Not exactly rocket science.

Oh, and by the way (sorry about hijacking this topic), does the iMate work with 10.5? I was thinking of getting one for my Intel iMac - I really like my Extended, wanted to use it instead of the tiny and uncomfortable Pro keyboard I have here 😛 .

I was thinking of getting one for my Intel iMac - I really like my Extended, wanted to use it instead of the tiny and uncomfortable Pro keyboard I have here 😛 . Can't see why it wouldn't. It Just Works with FreeBSD's standard USB HID driver. Unless Apple went out of their way to break it, it'll work.
I think what that page might mean is that the 1st party drivers don't work with >10.4, but you don't need them.

Seeing as the iMate is just a generic USB human interface device, yes, it will work with /anything/ that accepts USB input devices....
(including leopard...)

Come to think of it, it might not work with e.g. tablets, but an Extended II and mouse shouldn't pose a problem.

Their site says it works with all ADB devices provided you have drivers or some sort of support.

Right, right 🙂 . Guess I'll have to clean the dust out of my Extened then 🙂 . I really love that keyboard! 😀

Right, oh well, my AppleDesign keyboard is at home right by my Quadra 660av, not as good as the brand new Apple Keyboard II, but I want to save that gem instead of making it yellow.

I have an iMate that worked with 10.4 and 10.5 on a PowerMac G5, as well as in Windows.
