Description
The PS/2 Atari Eiffel adapter comes as a DIY electronic project kit. Skills in electronic component soldering is required to complete this project. This project is simple, and accessible to beginners in electronics.
If you rather have the version with the components already soldered, see the Assembled version.
The Atari Eiffel PS/2 Adapter allows you to connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse to your Atari Mega ST(E) or Atari TT on the keyboard port (RJ12).
Although compatible in theory, the PS/2 Atari Eiffel adapter cannot be connected to the Atari STF or Atari STE which have an integrated keyboard, because it uses an RJ12 port (telephone cable) which the Atari STF and STE do not have. To use a PS/2 or USB mouse on an Atari STF or STE, get an adapter to plug into the joystick port instead.
This version of the adapter is a compact version without joystick port, and only allows you to connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
I don't recommend using a USB to PS/2 adapter to connect the mouse, as it doesn't always work. Some claim that it works, but the tests I have done have never yielded good results. Preferably use a native PS/2 keyboard and mouse, for the latter with ball or optical, both work. Also avoid wireless PS/2 keyboards and joysticks as some seem incompatible.
The supplied PIC microcontroller is already programmed, the adapter is ready to use and does not require drivers. The Atari Eiffel PS/2 adapter is a Plug-And-Play device.
To connect the adapter to your Atari, you will need a RJ12 (6P6C) straight cable (not included).
The name Eiffel comes from the initials of the inventor of the adaptor, Laurent Favard. In French, "F.L. Project" sounds like "Eiffel Project".
