True. I should have mentioned this option. Why haven't I just bought such an adapter and be done with it? Well, for some reason, these adapters (whether you call them "PS/2 splitters" or "PS/2 Y cable") are not easy to get hold of. None of my "local" computer shops have them, and I wasn't able to find any on Dealextreme either. If I do find a shop that have them listed, its not in stock, and they charge a small fortune for them. In contrast, usb to ps/2 adapters are almost everywhere. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
