Title: [WTB] AT Connection Converter
Post by: 1pq on Mon, 06 January 2014, 20:46:18
I (stupidly) recently bought a board with an AT connection thinking I had a converter when in reality I don't. If anyone has a spare USB or PS/2 to AT cord, I'd love to buy it.

It will be just as expensive to get one from someone here.

Ahh. I see.
Do AT to USB adapters exist? Otherwise this is going to be a very long chain of cables lol

Stuff like this is insanely cheap from China, but takes 3 weeks.

Order 2 of every kind of adapter that you might need, and toss them in the electronic spare parts box.

Hmm, can you point me to any websites? And are you talking about AT to USB? Cause that would be really nice to have...

I've never seen AT to USB, probably because some of those might require an active converter and because AT is so old.

They sell smaller 5pin din to ps2, add a small blue cube and you've got a small AT to USB.
