is it possible to use a USB flash disk on a PS/2 port?

Answer 1

and how would you even connect them?

if you have a kind of adapter that came with your computer mouse, the answer has the be no.
for two reasons, actually.

one is that the PS/2 ports are hardwired to the system to bring in mouse and keyboard signals respectively.

the other is that the connection runs a protocol that is completely different from the one used on USB.

so why is your mouse able to run on both ports? because the mouse itself detects from the answers it gets fom the system on which port it is connected and switches to the appropriate protocol, which it does both support.

then why doesn't your flash disk do the same trick? because there is no point for a memory device to emulate a PS/2 port, because of reason one (see above) :))

thank you for listening ;)

I never saw an adapter to do it.

I would add a pci card
