It’s been told that if you can decrypt what comes out the other side, you will understand the true nature of the universe.

Straight from the scriptures of the Tech Gods. Amen
I think that the start was a PCMCIA or PC Card.
Ah you’re right, it’s been a while.
That is an Excalidongle, an instrument of the Tech Priests of the Ignoramus Mechanicus.
Legend has it it contains the Sword of a Thousand Truths
Im curious: Will the USB to PS/2 do anything for something thats not a keyboard or mouse?
No, and not even all keyboards and mice. It will only work for ones which can do PS/2 signaling over the USB port.
Probably not, if we’re speaking about the next adapter in the line. They both use 4 pins, and there are no active conversion in the adapter itself, it just connects the pins like this:
USB ↔ PS/2 +5V ↔ +5V D- ↔ D D+ ↔ CLK GND ↔ GND
So, as long as next adapter is not doing something funny with PS/2 signals, it should be ok for bare USB 2.0 connection.
