Hi,

I have just got a USB - PS/2 adaptor as per the subject line.

It consists of a small box with two PS/2 inputs, one for keyboard & one
for a pointing device, some flashing lights when the devices are in use,
and a "Wake Up" button.

The adaptor functions correctly in 2.4.4 i386 with uhci and 2.4.4-pre4 ppc
with ohci so long as only a keyboard is connected, the moment a mouse is
connected aswell, the device ceases working, and claims to have no driver
willing to claim it, like thus:

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 9
usb.c: USB device 9 (vend/prod 0x74e/0x1) is not claimed by any active
driver.

With just the keyboard connected (which works as expected), this is the
entry in /proc/bus/usb/devices:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 20 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=074e ProdID=0002 Rev= 1.00
S:  Manufacturer=Digital Stream Corp.
S:  Product=USB - PS/2 Active Adapter
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=500mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=hid
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl= 10ms

Unplugging the adaptor from the USB port, inserting a PS/2 mouse in
addition to the keyboard, results in the following entry in
/proc/bus/usb/devices instead:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 22 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=074e ProdID=0001 Rev= 1.00
S:  Manufacturer=Digital Stream Corp.
S:  Product=USB - PS/2 Active Adapter
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=500mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl= 10ms

(Note the single I: line, but the apparent change of ProdID based on
whether a mouse is plugged in or not?)

Removing the keyboard, leaving just the mouse plugged in results in the
same as having the keyboard and mouse together.

The device is identified in various versions of Windows without any
special drivers, and same for MacOS 9.

I've tried various PS/2 pointing devices & keyboards on this adaptor to
make sure it wasn't some strange interaction on that side, and I can
interchange the adaptor with other HID devices (mice, keyboard &
joystick) on both the I386 & PPC without problems, so I think my USB
configuration in other regards is okay.

Am I beating my head against a wall trying to get this to work? :)

Regards,
Mark
