I've heard this before, the item is listed here:
http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/parts_unix.html
with a picture of it here:

So what about it? It looks suspiciously like it's just a few wires. My guess
is that since he mentions it's for certain machines, that those machines have
ps/2 signals on the hp-hil connector. Any other ideas?
