NOTE
This worked! But first, I had to connect the Apple keyboard with my Mac and then "delete" the connection. I appears that the keyboard remembers the host device and will not pair with another host unless is is properly removed. Makes sense. Imagine if the keyboard could be connected to another computer while someone else was using it! 😁
