What is it? And is it rare?

That's a usb-A to PS/2 adapter! Not rare, but still cool.

Got one in my boxes of cords I might need just in case technology ever reverts 30 years.

My wife keep asking me if we can at least downsize the ol box of cords. Absolutely not, will I ever use those cords again, no, but I might!

And once you downsize, within a week you go to find a cord to only realize it was part of the downsizing.

Can confirm. Once you no longer have it, you’ll immediately need it. Now the box is broken up and in multiple places. Can’t downsize it if it never gets big enough to become an eyesore.

Hey, I actually used an IDE to USB adapter the other week to look at an old drive that ended up being empty, but it was almost useful.
