HIDman Adapting USB devices to work on old computers


Adapting USB devices to work on old computers. Contribute to rasteri/HIDman development by creating an account on GitHub.

This project aims to provide a simple cheap solution that will cover everything from the original IBM 5150 PC all the way up to modern computers that have PS/2 ports. This is (mostly) not HIDman's fault - many modern hubs don't support low-speed USB devices properly. Simply open a text editor on your target PC (eg notepad, edit, vi), then hold HIDman's power button for a few seconds.
