I just bought an IBM Model M keyboard that sports a PS/2 connector. Does anyone know of a PS/2 to USB converter for Mac?

There are no special PS2-USB converters for the Mac, just PS2-USB converters. Make sure to get an active one.

Hmm... I'm a little unclear as to what an "active one" would be... Thanks for the help so far though

The passive one is just a plug and cheap. The active ones have electronics and should cost about $5.

When I bought my new Model M from PCkeyboard.com, the sales guy said that you can go from USB to PS2 with no software problems, but you can't go the other way. I took his word for it and bought the USB version... I don't know if that is true but that came from the source that makes them now.

It worked fine for my dad who used to use a MS Natural Keyboard.
