I plug a USB to PS2 converter into my computer and then plug a PS2 to USB converter (different brand) into that and then plug a thumb drive into that... and the drive works.
What the heck?! Is USB somehow electronically backwards compatible with PS2 and they are just pass through devices?
Answer
The adapters you have are pin compatible with each other and there are no electronics within them. They simply convert four pins one way, then back again. In essence, no converting is going on.
