It has never been clear to me whether those adapter boxes actually do what you would want to do here, i.e. allow you to plug a PS/2 keyboard and/or mouse into an HP-HIL host port and allow the PS/2 devices to function as native HP-HIL devices. Some references on the net indicate that at least some of those adapter boxes were really just passive breakout boxes where the host natively supported both HP-HIL and PS/2 protocols but just had a proprietary connector that needed to be broken out into HP-HIL and PS/2 connectors.
