Such passive adapters may be specific to the devices they came with; however, the most common configuration involves sharing the GND and Vcc (+5 V) pins of both protocols, connecting the USB D+ pin to the PS/2 +CLK pin, and connecting the USB D- pin to the PS/2 +DATA pin. Using such adapters requires a dual-mode controller on the keyboard or ...
Linux for PlayStation 2 (or PS2 Linux) is a kit released by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2002 that allows the PlayStation 2 console to be used as a personal computer.It included a Linux-based operating system, a USB keyboard and mouse, a VGA adapter, a PS2 network adapter (Ethernet only), and a 40 GB hard disk drive (HDD).

The Network Adaptor was released together with the launch of the PlayStation 2's online play service. Two models of the adaptor were available - one with a dial-up modem and an Ethernet jack for broadband Internet connection (mainly sold in North America), and one with only an Ethernet interface (sold in Europe and other regions).
However, this is not confirmed to work 100% across the board [citation needed] as certain PS2 models (mainly PAL 7xxx consoles) was reported to still freeze at splash screen; a currently-unfixable problem related to HD Loader version 0.8 or higher on PAL single-port network adapter models was the main problem [citation needed].
This adapter (when properly cabled) can be accessed for in-band management through a USB driver. This adapter has its own ATI video chip, and will cause the onboard video chip to get disabled. The reason for this was to resolve some of the problems with capturing the video for the remote KVM function that the original RSA experienced.
PS/2 did not typically support plug-and-play, which means that connecting a PS/2 keyboard or mouse with the computer powered on does not always work and may pose a hazard to the computer's motherboard. Likewise, the PS/2 standard did not support the HID protocol. The USB human interface device class describes a USB HID.
The device connects to the PlayStation 3's USB port on one end through a USB Mini-B cable (not included with adapter, but it was included with the console itself), and features a PlayStation 2 memory card port on the other end. The adapter works with every PlayStation 3 model, regardless of whether it is compatible with PlayStation 2 games or not.
