I got a Belkin one like that from eBay for about $20.  (Never could find one 
when I went looking, but a saved searches for "adb ps/2" did.)  It works 
great.  I was really relieved to see that mine, at least, wasn't powered 
from the VGA port, but from the keyboard port.  Now if I only had a scan 
doubler, I could put my IIgs on my KVM...
