OK, so here's the thing.

I finally found the very affordable IBM Model M keyboard in very nice condition. It has been my dream since the first time I ever saw it, but I never managed to find it for reasonable amount of money, all of them were very expensive.

I have found the PS/2 to USB-A dongle online, so this is my plan how to connect it to my Mac.

Will this work? I have used the PS/2 to USB dongles before on PC and they worked like a charm.. Is there any compatibility issues on Mac? I do not want to get that beauty just so that it sit around to collect the dust, and I do not have any other PC in which I can plug it in right now. I reaaaaally do not want to miss this chance, who knows when will something like this appear again for me.

Thank you very much in advance.
 
OK, I got it working.

And I want to thank everyone in this thread for the huge help you have offered me, thanks a lot guys, you have been of great help.

So, for future reference, it works. I wish I had the USB-C Mac to test on, but if Apple releases the Mac Mini this months, soon I will get a chance.
