Title: HHKB PD-KB02 with green PS/2 to USB adapter
Post by: HairyTroll on Mon, 13 February 2012, 17:40:24

I picked up one of the early HHKB's off of Ebay, PD-KB02.

The keyboard is in good condition and works well when connected to a PC via the PS/2 connector. However the keyboard does not work (in Linux or Windows) when using a green PS/2 to USB adapter.  Can anyone hazard guess why this does not work?

Is there a different adapter that I can try?

[EDIT]

Looks like I need a converter and not an adapter;

I can verify that the Belkin converter linked from the wiki does in fact work with this keyboard.
