Ive seen 3 or 4 posts on here spread out, Ive just about been talked into ordering one of these and trying it out.
About the video: near the end he plugs the keyboard cable into the ipac, into what looks like a PS2 connection, but he says plug it into the pi usb connection.
Is he using a usb to ps2 converter?
I don't think the pi has ps2 connectors?

The iPac 2 I used to have came with a ps2 connection on pcb. Cable was ps2 -> usb with no converter.
