PS/2 keyboards on Apple Macs - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

The Great Zane H. Healy was quoted as saying:
...

 One of these days I need to pick one of those up to experiment with.  Though
 how on earth do you get the extra Apple keys on an IBM keyboard? 
and The Great Steven N. Hirsch once said:
...

 I never had much luck using a PS2 keyboard + USB converter on my G4 tower.  
 Any particular brands which seem to work better than others?  Any which 
 map to the Apple / Command keys? 
  I use a PS/2 keyboard on my Mac mini (and my girlfriend uses a PS/2
keybaord on *her* Mac mini---we're both snobs about our keyboards).  We both
have a PS/2 to USB converter, and I installed DoubleCommand [1], which lets
you remap the keyboard (I converted the Alt key to the Macintosh Command
key).

  I figure this is on topic as it allows one to use on-topic hardware (PS/2
keyboards) with new equipment.
