I too had to get one of those recently, having switched laptops -- 2x the

port, this one doesn't have any but does have two USB ports.
And it cost me less than $5.

My PS/2-to-USB converter did cost 2.23 EUR and has two cables at the end,
one for the PS/2 keyboard and one for the PS/2 mouse. And yes, it works
perfectly well with an IBM 1391403 kbd.

PS:
And the converter has become cheaper, it now costs 1,10 EUR incl. VAT. With PS/2-to-usb converters avaiable for $3?
Why???
Hmm, all the ones I've been finding are in the $20 range, modulo a couple
which are much cheaper but which claim to be for specific keyboard
vendors (I'd assume they rely on specific OS/vendor drivers, rather than
adhering to some kind of "USB keyboard standard")
