Yeah, ADB wouldn't work any other way (it's an open-collector
shared bus, so the serial data pin needs to be the same on
every plug).

On the bright side, S-Video cables (4-pin
Mini-DIN) work
just fine, though they don't usually come in the nice
"curly" form. You can usually get them quite a bit
longer, though; I don't know what the maximum length of
ADB is, but I suspect you could get at least a few
meters out of it.
Always wondered if that was the case. I've got plenty of ADB
keyboards lacking cables and plenty of S-Video cables. So both ADB
and SVid are wired straight-through?
