ps2 keyboard on usb port. Is it possible?

#1 April 1st 04, 09:43 AM

Hi

I want to connect a ps2 keyboard to a usb port, keeping at the same
time another keyboard on the ps2 port. Is it possible? Would the
keyboard on the usb be detected by win XP? Would both keyboards work
at the same time?

Apart from the ps2 to usb adapter, do i need any software?

Any advice would be wellcome

regards

Yes, this is possible. I did it with a keyboard on a laptop that had no ps2 port.

Yes it should be possible. It would be just like pluging in a
mouse/keyboard/usb device.

Hi there! Try www.cyberguys.com for parts that you
never knew existed. As to conversions, no software required...just the
adapters to and/or from USB.
