old connection

smftexas86 · 03-11-2005, 02:54 AM

believe it or not but I still have computer that has those old keyboard connections on it. YOu know the big ones, before we got ps/2 connections, well it doesn't work anymore though. Well my questions actually is is there a pci card or something that you can ADD on to the motherboard. something that will give me ps/2 ports.
any help appreciated

thank you

I am just playing with this comp. I found it somewhere, I am just playing with it. I don't want to put a lot of money into it, but like geoff5093 said, the connector doesn't work, so I can't buy a converter. I need a way to add ps/2 on, and I was hoping maybe you all know if there is a way if not the comp. is trash.
