Are these black or beige M13s?
If beige, I would like one.

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

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 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.

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 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.
