Not exactly sure I follow you - but if you're asking if you can connect a PS/2 port mouse or keyboard to a USB connector on your computer, the answer is 'No'.
You can do the opposite with an adaptor tho - plug a usb mouse or keyboard into a PS/2 (bus) port...

Hope that helps.
USB isn't designed for peer-to-peer connections, but for host-to-device connections.  I know the XBox has an ethernet connection that allows it to connect to a network, so maybe the PS2 has something similar.
Assuming PS2 = PlayStation2
Haha - didn't even ring a bell till you said that Callandor -
PS2 still equal's IBM's version in my mind... lol

This can not be done as PS2 you can not network them as with an XBox.  Might have to what for PS3. :)
you can network them, just not like what you want to do.  I did not type what i was thinking correctly.   maybe some more caffine.  ahh caffine is good. ;)
That caffeine sure gets a lot of play here these days ...
