Title: Converting XT to AT
Post by: Clickey on Wed, 17 August 2011, 23:22:35

I want to try a model F, but the AT ones are so much more expensive. Will this convert XT to AT?

It has no useful description, and im not sure if the seller either mislabeled it, or if its just to convert an rj type connector TO an AT/XT.

I don't think so, that takes input from a barcode scanner and splits to either XT or AT but it's not a converter between the two.  However, there is a similar adapter I've seen on ebay that I thought might do it.

Use Soarer's Teensy adapter...If I recall it converts XT to AT. I've been meaning to do such, but I'm too broke to buy a Teensy.

My code on a Teensy will convert either XT or AT, to USB :-)
