At least two people have done this before:
Both have schematics and source.
Or just buy the USB dongle thingie at www.clickykeyboards.com (specifically
the USB to PS/2 Adapter at
http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/11298/subca
tid/0/id/124184)
I use them and haven't found a desktop or laptop that they won't work on.
Note, this is not a simple cable adaptor, it actually converts the signal
and allows PnP, etc. on the old Model M.
