Has anyone ever used one of these?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=usb+to+ps2+mouse+and+keyboard&_sacat=0

If so which unit did you use?

The reason I ask is that I'd like to use my Mouse/Keyboard/Monitor switcher between my AROS machine and my Mac MINI running MorphOS.

The Mac of course lacks PS2 ports so I figured something like this might just resolve my problem.

Have any of you used these before?

I can't view ebay at work, but I have a pretty generic USB PS2 adapter for my keyboard and it works fine with Poseidon. Haven't had any issue with my old IBM keyboard (I am having issues remapping keys, but I don't think that's due to the adapter)

Good enough for me, just ordered one from within te states. Under $3.00 shipped.

Thank you for the feedback!

runequester: Would it be possible for you to post a picture of the one you have?

The one I bought detects fine under MoprhOS, but does not seem to respond to any of the keyboards I plug into it.

On the other hand it works fine under Windows.

It's a problem with the keyboard initialization, please, use MorphOS error reporting formulary. I reported it some time ago but I ended up buying another adapter

formulary?

I just ordered a second adapter. :)

> formulary?

I guess he means the facility described there:

Go to About MorphOS and you'll find a button to report bugs in the third tab.

I'm using this thing to flip keyboard, mouse, and monitor between my MorphOS Mac Mini and my OSX Mac Mini.

It's VGA, so the signal quality degrades a bit compared to a direct video connection, and Poseidon chirps whenever I switch machines, but the core functionality works well. Nice and cheap, too!

I was previously using a PS2-to-USB adapter on the OSx Mac Mini, and the performance was abysmal - would frequently drop dead for no reason.

Caterpillar, that's and interesting looking device!

What I ended up getting though was this:

It worked first try, I still have to submit a report about the other device.

In conjunction with this I am also going to be using a Belkin switch box similar to this one, but without the USB:
