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.

Thanks. I'm helping someone with this but I'll get them to send me the manual that came with this to see if I can get more details on the power requirements. From the video I linked in another comment, it seems to work.
