The original Happy Hacking Keyboard offered a choice of PS/2, Sun,
and ADB with different adapter cables.

The original HHKB Lite was PS/2.

The successor to the original HHKB were the HHKB Professional (I'm
typing this on one) and now the HHKB Professional 2.  Both are USB
only; the Pro2 added a hub.
