Re: use PS/2 keyboard and mouse?

[Michael]

ok, I wasn't aware that it would be that complex... That's why I asked. 
I'm sure my genius dad could make something, but I'm not going to bother 
with it, I'll just look around locally for a cheap ADB set for the 
Classic II then. Right now I have an apple extended keyboard 2, and a 
Kensington ADB mouse, but they are a friends who was kind enough to let 
me borrow them while he is away and wont be using his PPC.....

Thanks,
-Mike-

I need to know if anyone knows how to build a device to allow me to 
connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to my classic II.  I have searched for 
such devices and found the prices rediculus. I am sure it is something I 
can build myself with the proper pin-outs, and instructions on what is 
to be done with the two additional wires in a PS/2 device...

If anyone knows please email me. I have tons of PS/2 keyboards/Mice 
laying around, and it would save me some money if I couls use them 
instead of buying an ADB set.

Now, that is most likely in the "more trouble than it is worth" category.
I suspect that you would have to design and install/burn an EEPROM to 
give you the proper signal output. Besides, I can usually pick up ADB 
mice and keyboards for $1.29 a pound at the local GoodWill Outlet. A 
little wash up and almost as good as new.
