    In the ol' days we had PS2 to Serial converter... but the devices (mouse) was design to support it, so basically it was just a matter to cross connect some pins here and there. Sure enough some local overstock supplier may still have some in stock for few bucks.

    Something like that

    I was probe that cross ower cable but not work with barcode reader!
    huh......

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
