I now have a half dozen of these little boards. Your computer never needs to know that you use a USB keyboard. Let it just think you are PS/2 for life!

You could also use it to connect a modern keyboard to a #retro computer. 486DX, anyone? 🤓

I'd offer these up for sale, but I think there are probably no more than two people who would both be interested and be on #nostr. 🤣 So I guess I'm just building these to amuse myself. Oh, and personal use (that's where the one is that is not pictured... it's in production).

My computers don't have a PS/2 port?

Or maybe I don't understand what's being faked here.

I think it just makes the computer drivers system think it's PS/2 but you're using USB

Then this isn't for you. I use it to avoid allowing any USB devices access to dom0, so it's a security improvement for me.

Also, what kind of computer doesn't have a PS/2 port? A laptop?
