Hi there !

I need to make use of an old keyboard with a 5 pin din connector, seems to have both AT and PC protocols, do you think it is possible to use a din to ps2 adapter then one of the available ps2 to usb ?

If so, any recommendations ?

Thanks !

I don't think you can damage anything by doing that - maybe you'd run into problems if the keyboard needs more current than the USB port can provide, but even then the keyboard just wouldn't do anything
