Review on Enhancing Connectivity: Tripp Lite USB PS Adapter Simplifies Cross Device Compatibility by Ryan Foles

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with IBM Model M keyboard with 1 setting in Win 10 settings

Adapter works with IBM Model M keyboards ONLY WORKS FOR ME BY CONNECTING DIRECTLY FROM USB TO THE LAPTOP. Works with Win 10 Build 1803 from 10/15/18. In order for the adapter to work in Win 10, you need to disable the fast boot option in the operating system. First, open Power Options by pressing Windows + X or right-clicking on the Start Menu and selecting Power Options. In the Power Options window, click Choose what the power buttons do. Click Change currently unavailable settings to make the Quick Start option available for configuration. Scroll to the bottom of the window and you should see "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" along with other shutdown options. Just check the box to enable or disable fast startup. DISABLE IT. Save your changes and shut down the system to verify. If you don't see this option at all, it means that hibernation is not enabled on your computer. In this case, the only shutdown options you see are "Sleep" and "Lock". The quickest way to enable hibernation is to close the power settings window and then press Windows + X and open Command Prompt (Admin). At the command prompt, type the following command: powercfg /hibernate onAfter enabling hibernation, follow the steps again and you should see the hibernate and fast boot options.

Pros
  • Compact plug and play design
Cons
  • Not bad but...
