Excellent deal.

depletedvespene · 18 Oct 2018, 22:29

Tempting.

Nice find! Can this trackpoint work with PS/2 only?

Scarpia · 19 Oct 2018, 07:33

Oh my that’s a good deal! Tempted......

Actually, it seems like it's got a serial connector, so you may have to do some adapting, possibly converting. Some converters are keyboard-and-mouse 2-in-1 jobbies though, and for the keyboards I've tested it with, that's worked, at least.

I'm very tempted.

I'm probably wrong about this but is that not a PS/2 connector next to the serial connector?

PS/2 is most likely used for the keyboard functionality while the serial connector handles the mouse/trackpoint. Afaik a serial mouse is easily convertible to PS/2 but I haven't done it myself yet

i would be very much interested in the conversion process if the trackpoints can indeed work, i have a few boards with serial connectors for trackballs so far a passive converter to ps/2 has failed as has an active serial to USB converter.

Techno Trousers · 19 Oct 2018, 18:37

Ooh, I didn't even realize that there were M13s that had serial rather than PS2 connectors for the trackpoint. I'm going to have to pass after all if that's not convertible.

I'll take one

I have not tried on this particular model, but I have old basic converters that turn serial into ps2, and then a double basic converter for 2 ps2 to USB. I can try that on one of these, but I do not have many sets. Maybe I can scrounge some next week.

I have an old din adapter which goes to ps2 and a double ps2 to USB converter (active not passive). I imagine I'd just need the basic serial to ps2 adapter for the mouse part...which I had laying around ages ago.
