Hi
I have a laptop with XP and a dancemat which I use with it by using a USB-PS2 adapter - effectively the dancemat is a keyboard. This works fine with an old adapter of a friend which has the words "AWG space shuttle-c CSA LL80671 AWM IIA/B 80 degrees c 30" written on the wire.
I bought a new adapter (so I could return my friend's) but the new one doesn't work at all. I tried with another new one and that didn't work either. Neither worked on my mother's PC either although the old one does.
The new ones have written on them "LL112842 I/II A FT2 80 degreesC 30V HAURTIAN USB 2.0" on the mouse link, E188722 D (UL) TYPE CM - - " on the keyboard link and "188722 D (UL) TYPE" on the USB link.
I know there is version 1 and 2 of USB connections but don't understand the difference nor why the old cable works and not the new one.
Can anyone advise what is the difference between these 2 different cables and how I might find another of the old type please?
Many thanks
Angi
