PS2/USB mod? (read for the info)
Hey guys,
I recently got a trackball from my dad that he got from his work because he said it didnt work. Well, I got it working right, (not the best, but for the amount of space on my desk its good :D) and since the trackball is for the mac, (mac mice connect to the keyboard) the cord is about 3 feet shorter than what i need to hook it to my USB port, and I dont feel like buying a extentsion cord.
Now for my question, I want to know if i can and/or how to hook this through my keyboard. Im pretty sure that ps2 can convert to USB, but i just want to check before i waste my time.
Notes:
Keyboard - Ps2
Trackball - ADB (mac ps2) to USB adapter, 2' long cord
Want to hook trackball to keyboard and try to hook this through the ps2 port. Is this possible?
Thanks! :)

I'd think it would just be better to get an extension cord and wrap the connection between the cord and trackball with tape. No sense in gutting apart something (and possibly destroy it's usage) just to use one less port or combine two into one.
