Title: PS2 adapter for Model M
Post by: busfahrer on Sun, 10 June 2012, 08:33:14

Hi,

quick question:

Is a PS2-to-USB adapter enough to get a Model M working on a modern PC, or are there other potential problems that could arise?

Greetings,
busfahrer

Yes, but it needs to be an active converter; one of those purple or green adapters which have no electronics inside is not sufficient.

Search for "blue cube" (http://www.google.com/search?q="blue+cube"+site%3Ageekhack.org) to find one that is known to work well with a Model M.
