[Gllug] PS/2 to USB adapter

[Andy Farnsworth]

Just to clarify, are you trying to hook a PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse up to your
Toshiba Laptop which only has USB?  or are you trying to hook a USB Keyboard
and Mouse up to your Toshiba Laptop which only has PS/2?  I am also assuming
you are not talking about a Sony PlayStation 2 when saying PS/2.

I have not had much luck doing the first.  I have found that it is much
better and easier just to buy a new Keyboard Mouse pair than to try to get
PS/2 devices to work via USB.  You do need a driver to get them to work, but
it should be the standard USB keyboard and mouse drivers.

Good luck.

I bought a PS/2 to USB adapter in the vain hope of getting a standard
PS/2 mouse and keyboard to work with my new Toshiba laptop. I must be
missing something really obvious because the adapter so far hasn't
enabled either device to work with XP or Mandrake 9. Do I need drivers
or something? If so, where can I get them? Another USB keyboard I have
does work with both partitions without any config.
