I recently acquired an old (antique?) Centris 610 at a yard sale. I was planning on hooking up an old mouse and keyboard to it and using it for a plain word processor, but discovered a slight problem: i cannot figure out how to attach the keyboard or mouse to it! It does not have any PS/2 ports. I don't have any pictures of the ports right now, but the specs for it are here. What kind of attachment do the mouse and keyboard use, and where could I get a mouse and keyboard with those connections (other than eBay) or an adaptor for them?

Thanks.

The Centris 610 had two ADB ports for Mouse and Keyboard. You will need to have an Apple mouse and an Apple keyboard. I don't think there are any other options for ADB ports.

It's far too old to drop in a USB card and do that, so it looks like you'll have to go to eBay and see if you can find a nice ADB keyboard and mouse.

the apple keyboard has a PS2 style plug, shown here:

It has the side connector for the PS2 style mouse.

I'm pretty sure the current Mac's don't support PS2, not quite sure if they ever did.

I was looking for someone who could retrieve the information lost on my old tower. I would be willing to pay someone to walk through it with me


its is loaded with information I want

no need to pay, but you should post that as a new thread, not attatched to an old mac thread ..
