A quick check on prices for a HP A4220-62001, adapter seems to show that
they aren't terribly expensive.
It has never been clear to me whether those adapter boxes actually do
what you would want to do here, i.e. allow you to plug a PS/2 keyboard
and/or mouse into an HP-HIL host port and allow the PS/2 devices to
function as native HP-HIL devices.
Some references on the net indicate that at least some of those
adapter boxes were really just passive breakout boxes where the host
natively supported both HP-HIL and PS/2 protocols but just had a
proprietary connector that needed to be broken out into HP-HIL and
PS/2 connectors.
