Ginsu Victim:
I thought about that as well. I was just saying that for a PSX to USB convertor, a PS/2 adapter is definitely not needed. I had the same concern as you, though.

Well, I just purchased some of this stuff for very, very little... so I'll give it ago. Supposedly the drivers (it has some) for the PS>USB adapter covers all controls that work on the Playstation - I'll wait and see! If they don't then it doesn't matter - Trackball on Playstation for such a cheap price isn't all that bad at all!
slapaham:
The driver is available here...

Or am I just mad for suggesting this!?

For future reference. The adapter pictured there is a passive adapter. Any device connected needs to be "aware" of the PS/2 protocol. While it's worth a try, I have my doubts a PSX->USB->PS/2 adapter chain will even work. Stay with USB and leave it at that.

If anyone really really wants to use the PS/2 port for their sadistic pleasures, your best bet is to use a USB->PS/2 converter (rather than an adapter). Depending on the costs involved, it might be a better deal to pick up one of the offerings from Groovy Game Gear or Ultimarc.
