Hi...
Are there any PS2 port, data transfer devices that are plug and play?

Hi,
As far as I know there is no way to use a PS2 port for data transfer... however, you can use either the printer port or a serial port...

Cross-over (X-over) serial cable, AKA "null modem" was fairly common some time ago, when network cards cost a premium. Easy to buy or even manufacture yourself.
But if the machine is so transfer-unfriendly, I'd suggest using the VGA port, assuming it has a screen, of course, and also that you can get some nifty software and cabling.
So many Stars, so few Missiles!

PS/2 ports aren't PnP. However, a friend of mine created a device which can be used to transfer data (however must be plugged in before boot).
Mainly used for nefarious purposes and was expensive. He was charging around £800 for it (maybe more now).
