I use the wombat on my se/30 for the opposite- I like the laptop style usb white keyboards from Apple. The wombat works great. I have a modern usb keyboard and mouse and don't have to deal with expensive and flaky adb devices anymore.

Yeah, I was shocked to see that as well. At $oldjob^4 we threw out probably a dozen of them. :(

"ADB to USB Connector Adapter" on that auction site, shows Griffin imate, AlphaSmart as apparently old brands, resale price $70-$100+; and maybe "Wombat" as some hobby class product at $59-$79.
Inspired by this thread, I just ordered one of the Wombats. Made by the same guy who does the Floppy Emu. I'm ok with gambling $49+S&H on something that'll probably work just fine. I do want to "daily drive" some of my old Apple keyboards like the AEK II and see what I really think of them. Assuming it'll fit on my keyboard tray side by side with the modern Magic Trackpad.
