Well sure there is! At least one company still manufactures these and they are super-handy for re-using those old Apple Pro ADB keyboards. The product is called iMate and it's from Griffin Technology and retails for about $45-50. Here's their blurb:

"The iMate USB to ADB adapter is the perfect companion for your new PowerMac G4, PowerBook G4, iBook or iMac computer. It allows you to continue to use your favorite ADB mice, keyboards, trackballs, trackpads, hardware dongles and other ADB peripheral(s)"

Where can you get one? The Mac Group or Compusmart may have one on hand, if not we will order one for you here at Computer Concepts (613-836-4504).

Unfortunately a new adaptor is as much as a new keyboard.

I need to find a usb to ps/2 adaptor and an ibm clicky keyboard now.

I've got a few of those.  I'll give you one if you come pick it up.
