385237 2005-09-01 12:08:00 i have had to buy a "big keys" keyboard because of a new disability. It was expensive!! It has a ps/2 connection but my computer doesn't. I bought a ps/2 to usb adapter but my computer says "unrecognised usb". I run windows xp media centre. Can anyone help please? I'm a bit of a novice!! Thank you. harpsy (8814)

If it was designed to use either, then the specific adapter would have been provided with the keyboard in most cases (same goes for a mouse).

However, generic laptop docking units may be what you need, such as this:

It will give you a replicated PS2 port
