Old keyboards? I got about 12 of 'em   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1647 of 1684 |

In fact, I have about a dozen of these GOOD OLE' BOYS (PS2 keyboards) in
the basement.

My problem is that the newer PC's (laptops) require USB for everything,
including keyboards, and I hate trashing something that still works and
never goes out of style.

So here is an off the wall question? I just googled up connectors that
goes from PS2 Keyboard to USB , but has anyone ever tried these?

aptor.html?language=en&currency=USD )

And to really show my age, how about them fat 9 pin connector that
predates PS2 keyboard connecters? They go back to the PC XT (DOS) days.
I have one that I used until the PC died last year, and it even has a
keyboard extension cord for that plug!
