I got this Magtek (90 mm) model #21045011 (dual track) reader..but it has 7 wires coming out of it....i want to be able to convert this to a PS2 connection.. Has anyone did something like this before? I will show u the product data file with wire schemetics.

and the (ps2) Keyboard connection pinouts are here.

Which wire would i join from the magnetic reader to the keyboard connector?

thanks

    Your MagTek is a TTL reader and PS/2 is a serial interface.
    You'll need some circuitry beyond just a pin-to-pin connection between them.

    I'm not into digital circuit design, but suspect it'd be more complex than you'd want to tackle.
    
    If you have no input options other than PS/2, you'd probably be better off looking around on eBay for a PS/2 card reader.
