Ok, first off, will this keyboard work on a mono turbo station?

I've never seen a keyboard like it...

Also, it's possible to use a Cubes MO drive externally on a Slab, right?  just need a proper SCSI cable and maybe an old PC PSU. One with the power button built in. :)

I just want to make sure that would work before i dive off and buy one.

Thanks!

It's a NeXT ADB keyboard, so to use it you will need an ADB soundbox, and I think the proper rom version in your turbo.  You will also need a cable, as this one seems to have lost it's original.

AFAIK MO's are not SCSI, I think they are some kind of special bus, though I could be wrong as I've never actually seen one.

No there is no way to use a MO drive on a slab.  Even the Turbo Cube motherboards do not have the special bus port for a MO drive.
