I wanted to make a ps/2 to usb converter so I could use mykeyboard on my playstation 2. I can get one from someone probably, but I was looking around and realized I have all the parts I would need to make a usb adapter for my ps/2 keyboard. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the wiring. If it cant be done just tell me. Thanks.

Well.... Its not as simple as re-wireing! You need a controller that is going to convert the PS2 signal to USB... Unless you know how to programe in Assembly language and then flash it to a PIC controller and know about electronics, you could do it BUT.... Why?? Try ebay or search the net, you can get PS2 to USB adapters for around £2-10....

Im not sure if that would work for the Plastation, but im not sure, never done it?
