(a) Is it possible to run USB over the same conductors used by the PS/2
cable? (This is a real question; I don't know enough about layer 1 of
either to answer it.)
(b) There exist devices that adapt PS/2 to USB in the
PS/2-keyboard-to-USB-host direction. They are not as common as the
other direction (USB keyboard on PS/2 host, which I gather is usually
faked rather than truly adapting between the two), but I've seen them
often enough to know they exist. Perhaps one could help?
