Hello

in 2.4.25 make menuconfig CONFIG_INPUT_KBDEV help mentions ADB keyboard.

What is an ADB keyboard? Is is a synonym for PS/2 keyboard?

ADB stands for Apple Desktop Bus. That's what USB copied many years
later :)

ADB can connect keyboards, mice an other low-speed devices. ADB ports
can be found on Mac and IIRC also on NeXT's. It's not a PS/2 port.
