TRENDnet USB to PS/2 Converter TU-PS2 (Blue) Review

TRENDnet USB to PS/2 Converter TU-PS2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I tried this on both a Dell Inspiron notebook as well as a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. On both computers the mouse would work but the keyboard did not.

I ended up with the Kingwin UPS2C(I could not locate it on Amazon, had to go elsewhere) and it worked fine. That was is only $4.99 and works perfectly even with a KVM.

It works, but a major shortcoming is that I have not found a way to assign one connector to one port consistently.It seems to randomly make a port assignment to each connector at boot up, so I have to switch the peripheralson some boot ups.

Uh...it's a stereo RCA jack to 1/8" headphone/mic in jack.It's not rocket science here.The only remarkable thing about this is that it is very heavy-duty and solid.Expensive, but rugged.

TRENDnet IDE Device to Serial ATA Converter TU-IDES (Blue) Review

TRENDnet IDE Device to Serial ATA Converter TU-IDES
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
On a new computer that has a power supply with no molex connectors, there will be no way to power the hard drive nor this adapter without paying separately for a power adapter. It would not have cost very much to add the option of plugging into either sata power or molex power supplies, but this item is limited to plugging into older power supplies that have molex connectors.

Further Notes: Good to see that TrendNet is taking action to correct this issue.

PC To TV Video Converter Review

PC To TV Video Converter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The converter box has one input (VGA) and three outputs (VGA, TV, S-Video).It it powered off a USB port.

The pros are that it is small and works quite well for video.I tried it with three different pcs and the quality of the video input will determine what you get out of it.

Cons include the quality of text output to the screen and the use of a USB port for power.If you use large fonts and icons, a lower resolution setting (800x600) and a quality video card you can read text well enough to surf the web (but you will have to use scroll bars at that low resolution) - I am using an older 36" Toshiba (pre-HD)

I am overall pleased with my purchase.I would recommend it for the price.

Datastor Bracket Kit Universal 3.5In HD To 5.25In Bay Review

Datastor Bracket Kit Universal 3.5In HD To 5.25In Bay
Average Reviews:

You had better know how to install this - it is sent without instructions.
You will need first to screw these brackets on the hard drive then you
also must have the guide rails that screw on that to slide the entire
assembly into the bay slot.
It does not have tapped inserts like the cadmium plated item pictured.
Prepare to improvise with larger diameter sheet metal screws if you strip
the threads on this.

Displayport To HDmi Cable Adpt / Cnvrtr Review

Displayport To HDmi Cable Adpt / Cnvrtr
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this cable for my Alienware M15x laptop.I was surprised it'd didn't come with an HDMI and was not familiar with displayport.I got this cable so I could watch my movie files while on vacation.The adapter works great and is very well made.The part that plugs into the data port has a positive locking system which is nice. The quality is also very good and it feels substantial and well put together.

Additional info.For me (as mentioned in the comments below), in order to send the audio through the HDMI cable, you will need to get into the "sound and Audio devices" of the control panel and change the sound playback Default Device to the displayport cable.If you don't the sound will come out the laptop speakers or whatever speakers you have hooked up to the laptop.

Midiman M-Audio C02 Coaxial/Optical Bi-Directional Converter Review

Midiman M-Audio C02 Coaxial/Optical Bi-Directional Converter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product because I needed to convert a coaxial signal from the dvd player to the input (optical) of the home entertainment system. It does the job transparently as it should and gives you the option of also attaching another device (optical in). I haven't tried attaching another device, or changing configuration as you can via the switch on the side of the device. I do recommend this device if you need it for conversion of a signal as it does a great job.

Product Description:
The Midiman M-Audio CO2 Coaxial/Optical Bi-Directional Converter is a compact but rugged S/PDIF tool that simultaneously converts S/PDIF signals from optical-to-coaxial or coaxial-to-optical. CO2's innovative two-in, two-out design allows it to operate as a full-duplex bi-directional converter or as a half-duplex converter with a "thru" port. This enables the CO2 to be used both as a converter and a repeater, doubling its functionality.
The bottom line is that the CO2 Coaxial/Optical Bi-Directional Converter allows you to bridge the gap between devices and machines that would otherwise be incompatible. The CO2 breathes new life into your recording system, allowing different elements to communicate, changing signals from coaxial-to-optical and back again. This allows you to converge two otherwise incompatible musical signals with one uncommonly versatile converter.
