I've had a few and found the ones that look like a Y-cable work far 
better than the ones that look like a little lump of an adapter.  I use 
my Indy keyboard through a KVM and one of the Y-cable adapters to a PC 
and an SGI, and used to have the same setup at work.

But has anyone found a decent solution to connecting a USB mouse - such 
as a wireless mouse - to a PS/2 machine?  Eg my nice Logitech MX to an 
Indy?  I know there are some adapters for older Logitech mice, but 
they're just wiring rearrangements for mice that already understand PS/2.
