Do you not have a USB port? Just curious...

I used the cheapest line of wired Logitech keyboards for a while when I still used Windows, and had to use a USB to PS2 converter for it to work for some reason. As I remember, the converter came for free, the keyboard was $20.

Refresh my memory: Is that the big fatty DIN cable end? If so, you can pick up a DIN-to-PS/2 converter at most office supply stores. Be prepared to pay around $8 for it, though. I have one because I have a fantastic old Keytronic keyboard that I like to use.

Are you talking the classic IBM "clicky" keyboard? That's known officially as the IBM Model M (google for "Model M",) and you can find them everywhere. People sell them all the time on eBay for dirt cheap, and yes, I've seen them both with the old-school big connector and the PS/2 connector.

Unicomp still makes them, buckling springs and everything, but now they call it the Customizer. And they're now available new with either PS/2 connectors or with USB.

Buy them here: http://www.pckeyboard.com/
