Model F AT to PS2
« on: Mon, 13 February 2017, 23:16:10 »
Is this easy to do? It looks like you can get a Model F board nice and cheap on ebay at any time. Is it just wiring the 4 wires on your ps2 cable and boom?

I guess if a passive adapter is fine there shouldn't be any issue replacing the internal cable with a PS2 one?

And, yes, if you want to hand wire it's just a matter of changing the connector.

When and where? F ATs have become much more expensive and harder to find in the last couple of years.

I think he means Model Fs in general. The XT ones are much more forthcoming.

Without a doubt, but the thread title says "AT" and most of the discussion is around passive adapters, etc.

Any other Model F requires "conversion" of some type to USB, and PS/2 is not an option.
