Do you have a reference/link to the archive? Was it a passive adaptor
or an active one?

If you plug in a ps/2 to USB adaptor (usually they have two ps/2 jacks
and one USB plug, I bought one with only one ps/2 jack once and it
still showed up as two USB devices on the PC ;-) and a ps/2 keyboard
and/or mouse do either of them work?

It you haven't bought one yet, I recommed the Cables Unlimited one.
Much cheaper than some of the others, has a green light to let you
know it's on, has a smaller design, and it let's all five buttons of a
five button mouse through unlike some of the bigger more expensive
ones I tried--though I guess that's not an issue with the Twiddler2,
it doesn't even do the scroll wheel.
