Dear list, in the future I'm going to use a device which doesn't have any PS/2 sockets anymore to attach keyboard and / or mouse. This device is equipped with USB ports only. (Yes, you guessed it, it will be some kind of "Netbook" that needs some ordinary physical user interface - CRT, keyboard, mouse - to be used properly when placed in the office.)
I'm aware of the fact that there are adaptors (adapters?) do plug a standard PS/2 keyboard (and mouse) into an USB port. Do I have to pay attention to get a specific device or are they that simple (wired) that any will do? Additionally, I'm aware that there are some "vice versa adaptors" to plug an USB mouse into a PS/2 port. I already know that this will only work if the PS/2 mouse does also support USB protocoll (or something similar), or do I confuse this with the older PS/2 to serial (9 pin) adaptors where only few mice could be used? Reason: I *insist* on using my IBM model M keyboard on that device. =^_^= -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
