Looking for a usb to dual ps2 cable for about $5 shipped. This will let the user plug a ps2 keyboard and ps2 mouse into a single usb port on a computer.

If you've got one just taking up space, I'll take it off your hands!

Just so you know sometimes not all of these USB to PS/2 adapters work with all devices. In my experience some PS/2 devices will work on some brand adapters and others won't work on them. Usually this is only for special things like Wireless PS/2 keyboards but, just so you know :)

Wow, I've never had a problem with that (although 90% of my use for this has been on Windows gear).

Try your local BestBuy. Seriously.

Very much appreciate the tip, but the nearest box store is 40 miles away (so the gas would kill the savings there). Ah, the joys of the hinterlands! :rolleyes:
