Active PS/2 to USB adaptor?
InSanCen:
Hi Bruce.
Just thought I'd throw this out there on behalf of all the UK and Euro owners of PS/2 boards.
Do you do an active PS/2 to USB adaptor? Any chance you can try it on an M?
If so, and it works, let me know when it's on your site, and I'll place an order.
Bruce:
Hi
Yes we've got them here:- http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=254
We originally went for this one because it was the only one we found that worked on Maltrons, years ago before Maltron made a USB model.
To my shame, I don't think we have an M to test it on.
Full refund if you buy it and it doesn't work - sound fair?
InSanCen:
Yeah, I'll play guinea pig on that one.
You will have a PM. If it works with other picky boards, I suspect an M will be fine. Enjoy your Xmas though, I'm not in a rush for this.
If it works, I plan on voiding the warranty anyway, so may be able to give you (and GH) some more information on it's internals. It's going inside an M (Assuming I get another controller for it), and doing a Ripster style "native" USB mod to it. Just for kicks, if there's enough current left to spare from the adaptor, I may even backlight it with LED's.
You need to get an M though... What self-respecting multi-vendor Keyboard company doesn't own one? :tongue:
InSanCen:
Hi Bruce.
Placed an order. I'll report back and assuming it works, you can put it on your site that it works with the legendary Model M ;-)
Bruce:
Thanks InSanCen
Happy New Year!
We're back in action on the 4th so expect delivery a day or two after that.
It will be helpful to know for sure if they'll work with an M. Many thanks.
