They convert usb mice and keyboards to old PS2 (PC) inputs.

Purple is a rather ³popular² standard color for PS2 keyboard connections on a PC, with orange or green being for the PS2 mouse more than likely, your cables were issued with an older PC right at the transition period into USB. That¹s my guess best regards, Dana -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
