Description
The StarTech PS/2 to USB Adapter allows you to connect a standard PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to a single USB port on your PC or Mac. A USB-compliant operating system (such as Windows 98 or MacOS 8.6) will automatically recognize your keyboard and mouse as USB input devices. It is ideal for connecting a full size keyboard and mouse to a USB-capable notebook computer. It can also be used a basic console sharer, useful for instructional applications.

Miscellaneous
Additional Information: Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in response to the growth in popularity of external peripheral devices (keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras, removable drives, etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest generation of PCs. The USB behaves in a similar fashion to the conventional bus ports (i.e., serial parallel, PS/2), but is much faster, and since it does not require any IRQs, more devices can be attached to the system, and the problem of IRQ conflict is eliminated.
The USB2PS2 PS/2-to-USB Keyboard and Mouse interface converter provides the means for PS/2 type keyboards and mice to connect a PC, notebook, laptop, or handheld computing device that supports the USB specification via the USB instead of using conventional bus technology.
The USB2PS2 comes with 2 standard 6 pin mini DIN female connectors for the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to plug into, and has an attached 30 cm (1 ft.) USB cable with a type A plug for connection to the PCs USB port, or to a USB hub.
Note: Since most computers only have 1 or 2 USB ports, USB hubs are often used to provide additional ports so that numerous USB pripheral devices can be connected up at the same time.
For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks, laptops, and handhelds - the USB2PS2 Adapter derives its operating power from the Universal Serial Bus itself, so no bulky external power supply needs to be taken along. And because it is a USB Specification compliant device, the USB2PS2 supports energy-saving suspend and resume operations.
