This isn't enough information. Sometimes you can "daisy chain" as many as 3 or more adapters (eg RS232-to-DIN-to-PS/2-to-USB) and actually get it to work, but more often you can't.

The chances of the track ball working are better than of the keyboard working.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."

there are some microcontroller, usb2ttl or usb2rs232,,dont know if it will work if i wired those controller to the PBC...
i dont wanna keep the existing 232andAT wire..better replace them with USB wire directly soldered to the pbc thru some sort of controller...but dont know how to do.

those who sells the converters, shall build in certain controller in the converters which is the same idea i assume.
