I use an Apple A1242 keyboard on a couple of my newer iMacs 
(hard-wired). I like them because they're about as compact as possible 
and seem to be pretty reliable.

I also use an old PowerMac G4 MDD pretty often which I've always used 
Apple M2452 keyboards with. Those keyboards don't have the best 
reliability and they're dust/hair/grit collectors and I'm always having 
to order (used, of course) replacements for them on eBay.

My question is would an Apple A1242 keyboard work on the G3? I would at 
least have to order a USB cord extension so it would reach all the way 
to the G4 tower (on the floor). But if I did that would it work okay? 
Never thought about doing this before but I'm sick of those old M2452 
keyboards going bad.
