i think the title says it all, so anyone know how to do this??
heres what i know: usb cable/port has 4 pins, a v+, a ground, and two data wires. a ps/2 keyboard port has 5 pins, a v+, a ground, a data wire, and a clock wire, and one pin is not in use-or as they said on that one site- "not implemented". considering many things, the top one being that the adapters for a mouse+keyboard to usb cost 20$ i would like to make my own. i come to this after a couple of conclusions: looking at the item in stores and this picture on ebay (only keyboard to usb)
**broken link removed**
it seems to me there is little to no room at all to put an IC, or any type of uncommon electronic part, and because there is a 4 to 4 pin match up with the two ports i have come to the conclusion that it would be easy to make my own adapter (i have a usb cable and a ps/2 keybaord) i know to match up the V+ and ground wires but i have no clue how to hook up the other two wires. anyone know how.
