Hey Guys

Have this setup and I bought some PS/2 to USB adapters so I can use a keyboard and mouse connected to my powerbook....but the mouse and keyboard do not work when connected to the powerbook with the adapters...Any help?

Is this normal to not work?

Thanks

Did you buy USB<->PS/2 pin adapters (small, cheap [$5]) or an actual converter (box, $20ish)? You need the latter.

Converter has some chips and logic in it.

Pin adapters do not.
