Where did Velesoft say it will not work? Velesoft only said, the mouse wheel will not work, which is correct. I said USB (PS/2 Protocol) mouse will work with this converter. This is correct too. USB mouse with PS/2 support will work, The wheel status reading will not work. Check the pinouts of Mouse connector on SAM. It has up, down, left, right annd status of two buttons. No additional data lines for readind wheel status. You are mixing up two problems, so both answers are correct. There is only one solution: construction of a Mouse interface with direction and button reading to the mouse input port, and SAM expansion bus interface for non-standard reading of additional buttons and wheels.
