2nd Challange of the week. PS2 Keyboard into a usb port.

Hi all... This 'should' be simple but is not. And unless you have really
done this yourself, you will be confused.

Both for personal use at home and a few instances at work, I have needed to
be able to connect a PS2 Keyboard into a USB port.

This is a requirement because the new PCs and Thin Clients I have do not
have PS2 ports.

I have spent quite a lot on my keyboard and I do not want to simply bin it
/ ebay it. I really need to get my existing PS2 keyboard into a USB port
working.


Now there is no problem in picking up a PS2 to USB adaptor. I have a belkin
one and a few others..... But they will not work with keyboards, they only
seem to support mice.

So anyone got any clever ideas ? I am happy to buy these in bulk (if they
work) from anywhere. Just need manufac name or UK company that sell them..
Cheap as possible please !!!
