USB to PS/2
-
PLEAAAAASEEEE SOMEONE NOTICE THIS FORUM!!! :^) Related to my question below, I remember getting a USB-to-PS/2 adapter one time I got a USB mouse. I'll look for it, but does anyone know if it could work with a USB keyboard? and connected to a barcode reader? Thanks, -- LuisR

AFAIK, these are specific to the mice they come with - they won't even work with older PS/2 mice. [Edit: you could probably try something like this though.]

These devices contain special wiring that tell the mouse hardware itself to emit PS/2 signals rather than USB. They don't work with anything other than the original hardware (OK, they probably also work with other mice by the same manufacturer). Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I bought a PS/2 to USB adapter just in case, and.... it worked!!! :cool: I simply plugged the PS/2 barcode reader into that adapter by itself, and I left the USB keyboard as it was; and after a restart, everything worked fine. -- LuisR
