15 Here in Michigan they seem a bit pricey, as well. A single PS/2 to USB
16 adapter is a few dollars but the dual PS/2 to USB "Y" adapter is $16.00
17 (or worse). I had hoped to use one with my PS/2 only KVM but the combo
18 doesn't work. I suspect the issue is with the KVM as I have 2
19 different "Y" adapters and neither works. Sigh :-<
