I haven’t done exactly that, but I have done some usb stuff before. The v+ voltages are the same for usb and ps/2 so overloading either probably won’t be a problem, but be very careful not to short anything! Apparently short-protection is not a required feature for usb ports. Anyway, now my computer only has 4 usb ports
Do you have a blog? I’d love to see your stuff!

Hi.
Actually, seeing as you like tinkering. I’m trying to mod a keyboard usb into a straight PS/2 … without the adapter. I’m a little worried I will get the voltages and wiring wrong and fry my $200 Filco keyboard.

Many people wouldn’t appreciate the subtleties of such a mod but its a bee in my bonnet I’ve been needing to fix for a while.

I don’t suppose you have ever tried anything like that?

Thank you! It really means a lot. The thrill of discovering things, even tiny, insignificant things like this, is always fun for me. Glad you enjoyed!

I love stuff like this. Little bits and pieces that, like you said, get missed by 99.99 % of people.

You sir, are a traditional hacker … not the 2000′s type of hacker that pull code apart and rewrite it, but the 1970′s type of hacker; a hardware hacker.

It’s great stuff. Document all your discoveries. It is a good read.
