i just noticed after gathering all the required materials that this circuit http://dragonsden.emuunlim.com/arcaded/split.htm is for an old 5 pin DIN, is there a reasonably simple way to swap the 5 pin DIN for a 6pin DIN(PS/2) connector? |

Look up the pinouts of each connector and you will see how to make one look like the other. Both really use only 4 connections. Clock, Data, 5v, and Ground. RandyT |

Stephen Hans has the pinouts for both circuits on his site - http://www.ionpool.net/arcade/mame/keyboard_hacks/tricks.html (Took a while to find that, though). |
