I recently bought a USB keyboard to replace a PS/2 keyboard. I don't
like it when the USB bus hangs and the keyboard is dead so I bought an
adapter that plugs a USB keyboard to a PS/2 port. For some reason that
does not work at all where a previous PS/2 keyboard worked just fine.
What could be the problem?
Some adapters are "dumb", meaning they simply pass the signal through. The
circuitry to handle the switchover would probably be located in a specific
keyboard.
Other adapters require some sort of driver, but you'd have to check with
the manufacturer for that. (I doubt a USB -> PS/2 adapter would require
one.)
