deskthority

I am trying to get an old Kinesis Advantage to work on a modern laptop. The keyboard has a PS/2 plug, to whixh I attached a PS/2 to USB adapter in order to plug it intk the laptop. However,when plugging this in, Windows gies a USB port power surge warning. Does anyone have an idea on how to avoid this? Thank you

By "adapter" do you mean "[wiki]adapter[/wiki]" or "[wiki]converter[/wiki]"?

Indeed I memorised it wrongly; it's the Kinesis Classic. And by "adapter" I think I mean "adapter", as in a passive, small, female PS/2 to male USB thing. The phrasing is confusing me, as the deskthority "converter" page shows as an example the "blue cube" which has adapter written on it. What I think you are alluding to is that I need a converter, not an adapter? That blue cube is specifically mentioned to adress the problem that old PS/2 devices can ask for too much power, so I think that's my golden ticket. Thank you!
