USB to PS/2 converter with splitter function
USB to PS/2 converter with splitter function
(OP)
I have device that has a keyboard and mouse attached to it. It sends out the mouse and keyboard data through one of its USB connectors which can be plugged into any PC USB port.
The PC in question however does not have a USB port but has two PS/2 ports, one for mouse and the other for keyboard (it's an industrial 19" rack mount unit). Is there any intelligent converter to buy, that can accept a shared USB mouse/keyboard input and split the the relevant data out into separate PS/2 ports?
Thanks for any help,
Ed.

So all the mouse and keyboard data arrives at the DTX5000-R receiver via Ethernet, then the receiver sends the data down its USB cable to the local computer. The problem is that there's no USB ports on this computer, only PS/2.
Ideally a little box that you can plug in a USB connector, and which will then split the mouse and keyboard data out to seperate PS/2 connectors would be ideal as the local computer is an embedded system to which you cannot add a USB card. I doubt that any passive connectors would do the trick here.

they do make USB to PS/2 converters, but they're mostly individual, I think: http://sewelldirect.com/ps2tousb.asp
