    I got me a 3.2 Ghz Prescott (I know HOTT!!) Dell (!!!) for free..

    Yes, only reason why I took it is free..
    Now the problem is it doesn't have P/S2 Ports..

    I don't like using USB Ports..(Don't ask why..)
    and big plus was that Parallel port had P/S2 for data transmit option..
    (i think..)

    and all my local store doesn't sell Male Parallel end to Female KVM end cables..
    and I was hoping if I could make one, if I could..how do I do it??

    Thanks in Advance..

    ps/2 is serial, so i don't think you'll be getting much luck trying to convert it to run on the parallel port
    if you have some 9-pin serial ports on the back i know you'll have better luck running the mouse and maybe keyboard through them (you can already get ps/2 to 9-pin serial connecters)
    if your willing to give USB a go tho, look for a cable like this one: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1113581&CatId=469
