IBM keyboard on an iBook ...?

Anyone have any luck using an IBM keyboard on an iBook? I heard all you need is a PS/2 to USB Adapter and it should work okay. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your input.

iBook G4, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4/1.25 GB DDR SDRAM

That may work, but so will almost any Apple USB keyboard; including those $25. white ones
some stores had up until about a year ago. I use an Apple standard white USB keyboard with
my iBook G4, and an optical mouse, a powered USB hub; and an external enclosed USB HDD.
{Also this work area has a backup power supply with automatic voltage regulation for stability.}

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

Thanks very much for your input. I ended up getting a really good deal on an Apple Keyboard (not the wireless)through my employer, and I really like it; I like being able to control apps with it as well (figured in the 'future frustration' factor of not being able to do that with a windows based keyboard. "Me likey the keyboard shortcuts!"

Would be really awesome if it was backlit, but it feels nice and the USB cord is long enough for me to move around.

Thanks again,
