RE: [OT] (ish) ASUS Mobo question

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The manual for the Asus P5Q-E doesn't specifically mention it - but
then I've had Asus boards that have extra contents in the box that weren't
mentioned.

Even if it doesn't, you could use a PS/2 to USB adaptor maybe? Something
like...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-2-x-PS2-Convertor/dp/B000IHFOZ6/ref=pd_cp_ce_0?pf_rd_p=136153791&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000JVRQP2&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1PQEZ82D7Z7MARPESK7Q

Only downside it seems is the backslash key has problems with some of these
devices.

Paul.
