The larger "Y"-shaped keyboard/mouse-to-USB adapters usually support
non-USB-compatible PS/2 mice, though. I have one like this and it
works for me:

Does this Y-shaped dongle contain any electronics in it? Otherwise it
wouldn't be any different to a single connector.
Yes, I imagine so.
I've used a number like this:

They are readily available from Chinese / HK sources on eBay or from
LedShoppe.com, but I'm sure they're just the same as the one Paul
linked to.
I've never known a mouse or keyboard not to work with them, including
1990s Model Ms.
They cause the mouse & keyboard to appear as HID devices, which are a
standard part of the USB specification.
Stroller.
