One bit of weirdness you may have trouble mapping to a stock USB keyboard is how the
power button is
handled in ADB, and also how Apple USB keyboards handle the their power buttons in a
non-USB compliant way.
Indeed. I was actually considering just putting a physical button on the converter for the
power button (since it's very seldom completely necessary except to produce a hard
reset or NMI through key combos). I haven't actually looked into how Apple's
keyboards do the power button via USB; do you have a quick pointer I could look at?
