Hey gang,
I was at my desk the other day and had the little green dohicky that allows newer USB mice to work in PS/2 slots.

HMM. I thought. I wonder if I could plug that in to a PS/2 slot, then plug my usb sync/charging cable into that - and charge my ipaq 3950 off a PS/2 port?
It works!
Of course you can't sync that way, but still - a good thing to throw into a travel bag.
Probably the best use for this would be an older laptop with no USB ports or something like that.
And yes, I know they make PS/2 to ipaq charging cables - but I'd prefer to use this way, and I thought others here might have extras of this adapter and might now find a use for them.
