Can someone borrow me an ADB to USB converter?

[hKing]

Hey there!

Recently I accuired an AEKII which is in near perfect condition (at least that's what I can see on the seller's pictures ).
The cables are included, but I think those are the normal ones for the ADB connection.

So before I am buying a pricey Griffin iMate from the US, I want to test the board if I like it enough to justify the purchase of the converter. Can someone borrow me a converter for a week (more or less)?

I am located in EU - Germany. If needed, I can provide some sort of bailout via PayPal. Shipping is of course on me!

Thanks for reading, I'll wait for your replies!

You can make one for not to much, I just did last weekend using the TMK code:

Buy a teensy 2.0 and get a breadboard mount for it and you can reuse it for future projects.

Can confirm its pretty easy to make one, just follow Hasu's guide.
I had trouble in flashing my pro-micro, but for teensy 2.0 it went smoothly.

I'm not sure but iMate might not adapt to an ISO board well- some keys might be wrong.
Hasu's works perfectly and it's really much smaller than an iMate.

yea, the hardest part was making sure I did not swap the pins coming off the ADB socket. Here is a tip, the ADB connecter is the exact same as the S-Video connector, but I found that S-Video cables don't always have all 4 wires inside.

Once you get it running you can start playing with the software, they add layers and all kind of programability that actually takes a wile to figure out (to customize).
