PS2 Like Port

[jaikob]

I am currently doing some work on an old powermac, and came across a program that requires an "Old mouse Dongle" for a certain program to work.

It uses a PS2 like port that an old mouse would use, but it is definantly not a PS2 port.

I have attached a pic of the ports, the picture is not mine, I found it on the forums.

I'm wondering if it is possible to get a USB adapter for the port, and most importantly I'd like to know what it is called.


Thank You 🙂

they were called ADB ports for mice and keyboards. i dont remember is there was a usb adapter. the other way around there were alot of adapters. if you wanted to use a adb mouse on a usb computer.

The two stacked on the Left are the Modem Port and the Printer Port (GeoPorts), the one on the upper left is an S-Video Port, and below that (but not indicated by you is the ADB port for keyboards, mice, and joysticks).

Also, it is PS/2 not PS2. One is a computer and the associate port, the other is a video game console.

Also, if you take a look at the little icons next to the ports, they do tell you what they are.
