USB on PS2 KVM?

[vjp2.at]

Assuming an incoming (AOpen) computer is only UBS and we have a PS/2
KVM switch, and that we want to run a 75MHz on DOS6 and W98 as well as
this new 2GHz XP machine, can we just use the typical PS2 to USB
converter?

You need a USB A-male to Dual PS/2 Female converter. Best Buy and
other tech stores carry them.
See the thread "Using PS/2 Keyboard on USB " in this NG.

Many thanks. I thought because I would be doing the opposite (using a
PS2 keyboard on a USB computer) it would be trouble.
