[Nottingham] PS2 keyboard/adapter

[Rory Holland]

I have about a million of these, they were being chucked out at school
about 10 years ago and I rescued them. I've been slowly getting rid of them
ever since.

To clarify, you mean you want to be able to plug a USB-only keyboard into a
machine which only has a PS/2 port?

I live in Leeds now but I can put one in an envelope if you don't mind
sending your address in a private email.
