wondering about making my own adapters
« on: February 27, 2006, 04:42:32 PM »
Hello all:

I have found of course the commercially made keyboard and mouse adapters that take my PS/2 keyboard and Mouse and translate them for my Amiga A3000 (which I just bought).

Does anyone have experience in making this adapter?  Would it not be just a translation (at least as far as the keyboard is concerned) from what wire carries what signal?  On the mouse, my understanding is that there is actually a Microprocessor in the adapter (Elbox Cocincino).  I am not opposed to paying for the adapters, just think I might be able to fabricate them a little less expensive... they run something like $50 USD (the prices were all in British Pounds and I figure it is like $2 USD to $1 BP).

If anybody has attempted this, please let me know what parts you used.

Thanks and I hope there is good advice on this.
