Default Kittens on the keys?

I think I got my PS/2-USB convertor from clickykeyboards.com. I do have
a PS/2 socket on the PC, but every so often the keyboard would stop
responding when plugged into it; I wonder if it's a current-draw issue.


Model M takes about 112mA (supposedly 100x more current than a modern
PS/2 keyboard), the PS/2 port should be willing to provide up to 275mA,
but I gather some modern machines are unwilling ...

No problems via the USB widget, though.


I must grab one ...
