Re: USB to PS/2 converter

[Kenneth Martin]

I can't tell you about the converter, but I am using a Microsoft (gasp) 
Natural Keyboard on my eMac. It has a USB connector, and had an adaptor 
for PS2 connections (Plug the USB into the adaptor then into PS2 
keyboard input). I like the feel of the curved, split keyboard much 
better than the standard eMac keyboard (which I gave to my daughter, 
and she uses on her iMac).

Don't forget that you have to remember some keys...
F12 for the disk drive eject
SCR LK/ Pause for brightness control
Windows key for Command
Alt key for Option
Somewhere out there in electronic heaven is a program that allows you 
to reprogram these keys. I had it on my old Power Computing 180.

Good luck. It does work.

I have an iMac without a keyboard and mouse. When I went to go pick up 
a
cheap USB keyboard and mouse for it today, I saw Belkin makes a USB to
PS/2 keyboard/mouse adaptor. Since I plan to use the iMac as a server, 
I
figured if the adaptor would work with the iMac, I could then just tie 
it
into my PS/2 KVM that I already have for some of my other servers.

Anyone know if it will work? Does it need additional drivers? I plan to
use OS X Server on the iMac (maybe USB Overdrive will let it work?)
