I bought a USB Ps2 convertor for my macbook and pluged in my trusty keyboard. I get a dialogue saying "keyboard not recognized" followed by a dialogue saying press the key on te immidiate right of the "Shift" key. I tried pressing all buttons but it does not work.

Needless to say, Windows detects the keyboard fine.

Anyway around this?

Simple restart does the trick!!!

No, you need to press the button which is right from the left shift key. Other keystrokes will be ignored.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
