Can anyone tell me whether there still exist keyboard and mice adapter
to use PS2 devices?

apparently Belkin used to make them but i can't find anyone who stock
them.

I can't find any second hand Sun gear in australia (keyboards and mice
and bringing them in from the US ends up making the Keyboard cost in th
region of $120. (more than the value of both machines combined!)

any help appreciated

With Solaris 10, cheap USB PCI cards should work for keyboards.

Yes, but the converter boxes normally cost starting at $120 US... So
its unlikely you'll save money unless you go build your own.

I assume since your are saying that a machine at $60, that you'll have
something that is a Type-5 input, not a USB.

UltraSpec makes what you need.
