Wow, Cuecat. That's a blast from the past. I can't help with your specific request. I will point out that any barcode tasks you find a cuecat acceptable for, would likely be served just fine with a cheap USB barcode scanner. About thirty seconds of searching finds them for under $20 new. https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Barcode-Scanning-Bar-code-Adjustable/dp/B0= 0406YZGK The problem with USB-PS2 converters is that they are mostly dumb devices. Just two connectors and some rubber. The device (keyboard/mouse/whatever) recognizes that it's connected to the adapter and then shifts to the other protocol. The Cuecat won't be able to do that. You can find an active USB-PS2 converter, but I believe the price will be near the $20 range anyway. I believe there's USB-Arduino-PS2 projects out there, but building one of those is likely near $20 as well. They did make a USB version of the cuecat (I had one), but it was early days of USB 1.2 and they were far less common than the PS2 version. You probably already know, but the cuecat had some type of trivial "encryption" scheme for the data as well. It was easily bypassed, but the details have long since been purged from main memory. -Denny On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 4:23 PM, Michael Johnston < michaelwjohnston1@gmail.com> wrote: > HI, Do you have the software that came with your cuecat?
