Help me find a USB adaptor for a PS/2 type plug. Searching online just gets me Playstations!

I'm losing my mind. This old graphics tablet connects to the PS/2 port on an old PC for power. There's a separate serial cable for the actual data connection. I want to supply it power without needing to connect it to a PS/2 port, so an adapter for USB would be ideal.
I know others have achieved this but I can't find the details. Can anyone help? The search results are full of Playstations because it misinterprets the "PS/2" part.
Are you sure that's not an 8 pin serial connector? It doesn't look like PS/2 from this angle
The other end looks like the PS/2 DIN connector.
8 pin serial can come in a round format like that. It looks slightly too large to be PS/2, and the other end being serial implies that this is a serial cable
I don't have it with me because I'm helping someone remotely, but I'm almost certain it's a PS/2 connection from a previous video call we had. I'll double check though because that's a good point you make. I should look out for that possibility.
