--As of May 15, 2011 8:03:29 PM -0700, per...@pluto.rain.com is alleged to
have said:
The AT and PS/2 keyboard interfaces are electrically identical --
only the physical connector is different. (I have seen, and used,
adapters to connect either type of keyboard to the other type of
system. Such adapters have no active components, just the two
connectors wired together.)
--As for the rest, it is mine.
The physical connector is all that actually needs to be different: Hot-swap
interfaces make a point of connecting ground before power, usually be
longer ground pins. Although I don't think it matters in this case.
I could check, but I'd have to unplug my keyboard from the computer I'm on.
