I found the "instructions" for the Belkin adapter.

Scroll down to Hardware Installation, Macintosh. In other words, user
intuitive.

Are you thinking about a Belkin USB ADB adapter? #F5U118-UNV. I once
used it to work my G4 off of an old Mac keyboard. I have been
planning to try it to see if I can boot and run a Mac Classic off a
thumb drive, but other projects are more pressing right now.

Depends on just what you mean. Several devices exist that connect
to a
USB port that give DB-9 pin serial port. Probably none exist to
give a
USB connection to an existing DB-9 serial port.
You could try making your own converter using a Teensy:
<http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/>. It would be quite labour/knowledge
intensive, but it has been done with an old M0110 keyboard in the
past:
