Someone gave me an Apple II gs and it's old old old ( 1mhz speed old ) I it does not boot, the floopy is broken that's why. I dont really plan on using it because i dont really see what it is good for. I was going to see if i could hook up the keyboard from it to a windows box. the plug on the keyboard is shaped like a normal keyyboard plug but it is miss in the 2 pegs on the bottom. So the mac one only has 4 and the one i am using now has 6. is there a way to hook it up?

If it's an old ADB keyboard, you'll need and adapter to make it work. Griffin Technology (http://www.griffintechnology.com) sells an ADB to USB adapter if you really want to use it. ADB is NOT the same as PS/2, so it won't work.
