OK, I'm pretty sure that that adapter doesn't provide any USB interfacing beyond what's there in teh keyboard. You probably would need the adapter for sale here: http://www.centralcomputer.com/emerchant/itemdetai l.asp?item=MISCABUSBW3R
Linked from that same page. A USB device is a smart device with a chip that discusses what it is with your computer. A PS/2 keyboard is NOT.
The more complete adapter probably fills in the gaps with a USB device chip that identifies itself as a PS/2 port.

P.S. Good luck with your setup!
I am not a tax expert, but I live in a small state (Massachusetts). There is an interesting thing here. New Hampshire (our nearest north eastern neighbor) has 0 (no, none, zero) income tax. Other border states (Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Vermont) do. Massachusetts has a high percentage of out of state commuters from these states. (Especially out of southern New Hampshire) The state figured it was getting ripped on income tax dollars so it set up a deal with the employers of out of state residents. If you work, OR live in Massachusetts you have to pay income tax. Up to the maximum collected in your home state, or the maximum collected in MA (Whichever is higher) Meaning if you live in New Hampshire (0% income tax) but work in MA you pay MA the 5% or so that they collect. I am not as familiar with the rates in other states, but if Rhode Island collected 3% you would pay 3% to Rhode Island and 2% to MA. But if Connecticut collected 8% you would only pay Connecticut's 8% (and provide proof of payment docs to your employer?).
But, if you lived in PA and worked in MA, you would probably only pay PA taxes. It is not a border state, and therefore not part of this "agreement".
Therefore, since Indiana and Ohio border each other, they could have ANY kind of kooky thing worked out, even paying full percentage in both states. So you might just want to check into your own scenario as closely as you can, and pony up the big bucks to H&R Block, that's what they are good at, and they will pay any fines, etc...
Just my 2 cents, and I realize it may not be worth much, but these interstate commerce laws get really hairy really quickly. I'd definitely call in an expert or two.
