There’s a DW version of Keep on the Borderlands on Drive Thru RPG – it’s cheap, but not free.
drivethrurpg.com – DW-B2 Chaos in the Wildlands
It’s done as a front – two pages of three columns.
Thanks, Robert Rendell £0.58 is very cheap, appreciate the tip.
I’m not aware of any conversion for In Search of the Unknown, but… what’s to convert? If I remember correctly, that module was unpopulated. There were rumors, room descriptions, traps (?), and discoveries/treasures, but no monsters and no “plot.”
It was, it seems, the perfect thing for DW: a big ol’ map with all sorts of blanks.
Now, I imagine you could DW it up a bit with some leading questions, some custom moves to replace/represent the traps and weird effects in, like, the pool room.
But I think you could also play it mostly straight, ask the usual leading questions for a first session (why are you here? what dangers are said to lurk here? why can’t you dawdle?), and use that plus the room descriptions to generate a pretty sweet adventure on the fly.

Thanks for comments guys, much appreciated. It was mostly to use as examples of how a DW adventure is supposed to look that I asked the question. I’ve now got the data that explains how things should work.
