I was referring to the simple adapters, which basically just adapted a USB 
mouse/trackball (i.e. the peripheral) to a PS/2 form-factor (PC end).  There 
are no active electronics involved -- it's just a pin-swap.

I think you must be referring to those adapters that went the other way, 
converting PS/2 peripherals (often dual-headed, for PS/2 mouse + PS/2 
keyboard) into USB at the PC end. Those latter adapters have some sort of 
electronics in the middle of the cable and were definitely more of a hit-or-
miss proposition.

Chick needs the former, not the latter.
