They make adaptors, costs about $5. Not all will work though so make sure you buy someplace with an easy return policy.

The model m needs more power than USB supplies, so you might be best plugging into a powered hub.

Thanks!

I've bought a few adapters but so far no joy.

I'll try a powered hub.

Note that there are two types of PS/2->USB adapters. One is a purely electrical adapter for newer keyboards that already support USB internally, and the other is a true adapter that both electrically and logically converts the PS/2 signal to a USB signal.
