Olduvai almost released a pair of adapters which would allow
ADB peripherals to be used on earlier Macs and vice versa (earlier 
mice to be used with later ADB-equipped Macs).  Unfortunately, there
was not enough demand, according to their market research, and the
project was dropped.  This adapter would have included ADB chip
circuitry; it's sad this never saw light.  I don't know of another
similar product ever released.  With regard to Prince Charles' ears,
c'mon and give the guy a break.  I much prefer saying something like,
"the ADB connectors used to stick out like Queen Elizabeth's lips"...
much better, I think.  Anyway, see you on the net.
