Title: DIY Keyboard 'Splitter' Circuit
Post by: Specter_57 on Mon, 15 June 2009, 23:19:47
In case this may be of interest to readers here...a short time ago I stumbled across this page detailing a circuit that lets you use two separate keyboards (and likely two separate mice as well...) with a sigle computer through a single PS/2 port.

This is something I've wanted for some time now...off and on..but never found a circuit that would do this.

I've seen a commercial device that did the mouse/keyboard 'splitting'...but it was and is still grossly overpriced.

Yes, I know that you can do more than one keyboard through the USB ports.


So here is the web locale....

Update:  Here is (I think) the original circuit by it's designer:
