Has anyone tried this?
« on: Mon, 20 February 2012, 22:55:33 »
Just searched eBay for "SDL" and found this cable with inline PS2 to USB adapter - so the cable is SDL to USB.  Seems spendy but interesting.  Has anyone tried this?

"USB to SDL 6 Pin 10ft IBM Lexmark Unicomp Type M Clicky Keyboard Cable NEW"

I bought two of the plain SDL to PS/2 cords the same seller had, they did the job and were uncoiled.  I'm not sure how well these would do, with Model M compatibility to USB being a little off, though from the looks of things, these look great.  

Thanks for the link!  I'll buy some and try them out later on.

Great deal if you get bulk pricing from them.

That's the product I originally came here looking for.  Glad it only took several years :/

What about trackpoint or trackball keyboards?  These have a single SDL socket and come with a cable to PS/2 keyboard and mouse plugs.  It would be awesome if the adaptor cable worked with those - unfortunately Ebay doesn't let me contact the seller to ask.

BiNiaRiS, I see you have a couple of M5-2s for sale.  Before you part with them could you try them with these cables to see if the trackball works?

BiNiaRiS: Did you receive the cables?  Did they test OK or is there any weirdness?

Thanks for the help
