I am really not surprised. Anything "Apple" has been "apple-centric" since day one.
I recall modifying standard 3.5 inch floppy drives so they would work with the Apple II computers. Apple does a lot of "strange stuff" to maintain its differences. That is why I will not buy Apple - it "sucks you in" with a bargain and easy usability, but then tells you that everything "Apple" is proprietary and will cost you an extra bundle of money. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/25/2012 8:43 PM, Rick Prather wrote: > I was surprised to learn that an Apple keyboard won't work. > > Funny, since a PC keyboard works fine on an Apple! > > I tried two, an original unit that came with my Cube and the Aluminum one > that came with my iMac.
