rj11 to USB/PS2

by adze • 5 Jan 2015, 19:38 • Journals
Hi!

I'm trying a very old keyboard to get to work with modern PC. This keyboard still using rj11 connector. I tried to make it to ps2, but doesn't seem to work.

Did anyone ever tried similar thing?
Red-Yellow-Black-White (PS2)
to
Red-Yellow-Black-Green(rj11)

is not working.

Anyone with a related tutorial?

Thanks.

aren't there just adapters for that you can buy?

90% of what I find on ebay are male rj11, and I need a female rj11. Those ones are completely out of price range.

Either this picture is wrong or I'm completely stupid.

Since rj11 connector is using:
Yellow: gnd
green: si
red: so
5v: black

there's no white wire

and If I'd wire the way the picture shows, 5v would go to SI.
