I've search-engined for this kind of info with no luck. I have a Memorex PS2
mouse less than a year old but the tabs to the front came apart when I
opened it up to clean the thing.. It's irretrievably broken. I also have an
AT style keyboard on which I'm using the adapter to attach it to the ATX
Soyo mobo. Is there a pinout or similar that I can at least attach the PS2
cable to the AT keyboard?
thanks, Jim

Not to sound smart or anything, but wouldn't it be easier to spend about 10
bucks (maybe less) on a new keyboard? Then again, if the adapter works OK,
keep using the keyboard you have. -Dave

A reasonable point. But the adaptor weighs kinda heavy on the ATX port and I
have the 'dead' mouse, so it seemed like an idea. I can still work with the
old keyboard if I needed to but fooling around is what hardware jockeys are
all about, eh?
