I want to know if there is a converter that allows me to use a usb keyboard with an IBM terminal that usually takes a set 3 keyboard. I was wondering if a soarers converter connected in reverse would work, but I am not sure that the translation is bidirectional.

It most certainly would not work.

Converting USB to anything else is actually quite tricky. (Involving things like “Arduino USB host shields.” I’ve looked into it but always balked before trying.)

The only way I know to get “terminal IBM” set3 is with one of the OG keyboards. There’s plenty of them out there, I’ve had a couple of them myself. Indeed, you may find someone has a pulled controller they might have swapped for the generally more useful PS/2 version.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but I just wanted to check before I spent $100 on a duplicate.
