PS2 New Product Announcement 

EMS

 
   Hong Kong based manufacturer EMS has released a USB keyboard adapter for the PS2 which allows the use of any Macintosh or PC USB keyboard on the Playstation 2 console. More interesting perhaps is the inclusion of a Neo-like mod chip in the adapter which allows the use of certain silvery discs via swap method. Some enterprising outfit may adopt this accessory and dub it "Neo Chameleon Key"... Whateva. NCS has no plans to stock this product and offers this information as is.
