There is no 'extended keyboard for the IIGS'.  There is a IIGS keyboard,
the same as the standard mac keyboard but in a smaller case.  It is
an ADB device and will work fine with the mac.
The extended keyboard does seem to have two flavors-- the original one
and the current one -- perhaps someone had one of them on the IIGS you saw.

Does anyone know the difference between the original and the new
extended keyboards?  (I've never seen the new one)
