turning keyboard from a din plug to a usb?
Is there any way i can get my keyboard's din plug to be a usb. I have cut the end of a usb cord off hoping i could connect those cords to the din plug. I didn't have any luck really but the keyboard did get some power because i saw the caps lock and all of those other ones light up too. but i couldn't get it to type. The usb has four wires one red,green,white,and one black. I don't know where to put these on the din to make it work. So if anyone has any advice please say it. i am trying to get this to work for my ps3.

Heres the pin assignments. This article also says something about the signaling between the DIN and USB not working. |
