PS keyboard to USB computer port and USB keyboard to PS computer
port converters are available from numerous suppliers. mpja.com (u.s.
company) has them at US$1.95 each. USB to rs232 converters are also
available somewhere. All handy for old computers.
Those connectors aren't available everywhere. In fact, the only converter I
ever saw in any store in my local area was for USB mice. I really looked
for those things, as I had purchased an old computer which only supported
USB peripherals and I only had PS/2 keyboards.
I believe that hardware stores don't try very hard to offer those connectors
due to the fact that if they aren't available then the only option that the
client has is to buy a new keyboard. Between selling a 2€ and a 10€
product, they prefer the later option.
