You would have to order a microcontroller that converts from > PS/2 to the USB protocol, some plugs, and solder the thing together. Actually, with a new keyboard/mouse, you might not need to. Many new mice and keyboards have both protocols built-in to them, and are able to detect and use the right protocol on their own, so a simple pin-to-pin adapter may well work. Of course, this is unlikely to work for Nile's cast-iron clacker.
