Keyboard with laptop

Don Schmidt

I find it difficult to use the laptop keyboard; how would one connect a
keyboard to the laptop using an USB port?

As Donald puts his dunce cap on he says thanks to Glen and Anando!
I think I can handle that.<G>

How about a regular keyboard with one of those plug to USB adapters? I have
one leftover from a mouse.

I thought I had an adapter in the drawer but it was to convert an USB mouse
cord to a mouse port jack.
Went down to Radio Shack and got a slick two cable, one for the mouse and
one for the keyboard on one end and on the other end was a single USB plug
on the other end. Works great.

Thanks again guys.

Don't be surprised if "Alt-Printscreen" stops working. There are some
other oddities caused by the adapters, but if it works for what you need.

Does the laptop have a ps/2 port in back? That's what I often use to
connect a full size keyboard.
