However, by making a conversion cable you can use any

great. Any of the Single Tower, Twin Tower or Predator (Case types)
keyboard/mouses will work; i.e., Crimson, etc.
Interesting. I've only worked with Origin 200/2000 SGI machines so don't
know much about any of the older systems or the desktops.
Any idea if an Indigo keyboard is compatible? Reason I ask is that the
guy who's disposing of the machine has found a website describing a
convertor to allow a stock PS/2 keyboard and mouse to be used with an
Indigo.
If the 4D can use an Indigo keyboard then it should work with this
convertor, which would be a start...
cheers!
