I've had a lot of problems trying to run the old Sierra adventure games that I bought (Kings Quest and Space Quest) on my computer. Finally, to get rid of the problem, I got down my dad's old Pentium 486 from the attic and plan to use it for all my old games. However, I'm having some problems with the hardware.
I know very little about old computers. I had an extra PS/2 keyboard, and the computer already had a 9-Pin to PS/2 adapter on it. It doesn't work for the keyboard, so I assume this was for the mouse. However, I can't figure out where the keyboard connects. There is a 25-Pin plug, but I haven't been able to find any 25-Pin D-type to PS/2 adapters. Do I need to use a 25-Pin to 9-Pin adapter and then plug a 9-Pin to PS/2 adapter into that?
