If you're going to try this on a Mac you might need to have both a 
mouse and a keyboard plugged into the adapter.  I've had strange 
results when trying to use it for just the mouse on Mac's (the Mac 
wants to ID the keyboard).  Which was disappointing as part of why I 
bought it was to use my favorite style mouse.  I don't believe I've 
tried my adapter on my Sun SunBlade 1000 Workstation.

I use this for a PS/2 Logitech mouse along with the keyboard that 
came with my G5 2x2 Tower on my work laptop (an IBM Thinkpad).
