Re: [OT] Trying to find keyboard adapter...

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,

I didn't find a 2-into-1 adaptor, but did find (I think) what you're
after. Prices individually are a bit steep when you include postage,
but it might give you a start finding the same thing somewhere
cheaper.

These were the two options:
http://uk.shopping.com/xPO-GC46FM
http://uk.shopping.com/xPO-StarTech-com-PS2-TO-USB-KEYBOARD-ADAPTER-F-M

Both came from this page:
http://uk.shopping.com/xPP-cables_and_connectors_2-adapter_ps2_usb

No affiliations etc. I just came across the site from Googling.

HTH,

Tim.
