Rominator back at BMOW (classic mac enthusiasts)
For members w/ classic Macs (esp the SE/30) - https://www.bigmessowires.com/2020/09/29/mac-rom-inator-ii-the-thickening/ <https://www.bigmessowires.com/2020/09/29/mac-rom-inator-ii-the-thickening/> I had the original that I never got to work right in my se/30, and they've been out of stock for a long time. Now you can get one to make your se/30 32bit clean and have a rom-based bootable system (like the classic) for emergencies... Pretty cool. Also I love their Wombat for using a modern Apple USB keyboard and mouse w/ my Classic Mac. -andy

Ooh, thanks for calling this out. Guess I'll have to finally open up my SE/30 this weekend and pray the battery hasn't eaten it.

I'm using it right now to run an ADB keyboard into my work MacbookPro. ;) -- Jameel Akari

I still use my Apple Extended Keyboard II (through a Griffin iMate) as my daily driver. It is a vast improvement on both its predecessors and its successors. But what I do really need is something that'll translate USB or PS2 to ADB so I can hook my Macs up to my big KVM, though at $50 each it might be a bit pricy. Still, glad to see people are making this! - Dave
