PS/2 to USB?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

PS/2 to USB?

Post by ghosstt »

Well, I have an old keyboard that I don't use anymore, and wanted to make it USB. I know that they sell PS/2 to USB converters, but I would like it to be permanent. Is it possible to do this without any major modding?

Umm, cut the cord on the inside of the keyboard, attach it to the PS/2 to USB, then use a USB cord to go out of the casing would be the easiest way.. I think.
Things I need to purchase for my NES Laptop:
1X PSone screen
6X 1.2v 3500mAh sub-C's
1X 1/8'' to RCA stereo Adapater
1X Radioshack repair kit

..yeaaaaah...
