flirc Remote power switch with ps/2 adapter

[Tolstrup]

Hi all

Let me start by saying I've never used the flirc v2 before, I'm looking for a bit of guidance.

 

What I am trying to do:

My idea was to connect the flirc to the ps/2 port in my PC, cause my motherboard only allows me to power on the PC from s5(complete shutdown) via ps/2. Via USB I can only wake it from S3. 

So, here's my question, has anyone tried connecting the Flirc v2 via a ps/2 to female USB adapter and getting it to work ? 

Thanks a lot.

I'd be interested in knowing this too. By the way, who the hell has a PS/2 port on their PC still?

I've got such a port in my MSI z87-g45 gaming motherboard, I'm still running with the quite competent i7 4790k :)

update: 

The parts have been ordered, and i'll expect to test it mid next week.
