When I purchased the MacIvory I also purchased a Symbolics keyboard and
mouse as well as an adapter box that plugs into the ADB connector on the
Mac.  The adapter box has a button which serves to power on the system.  I'm
not sure if the Symbolics keyboard that I acquired is identical to yours
though.
