I don't think that would work, as I believe the PS/2 to USB plug is just 
that a 1:1 converter, it has no electronics inside it. The keyboard is 
intelegent enough to know if it is plugged into a USB or a PS/2 port and 
  adjusts what it outputs acordingly.

So you couldn't use such a converter to plug in a USB wireless dongle to 
a PS/2 to CoCo interface, as the dongle would still be trying to talk 
USB which of course the CoCo interface would not understand.

Cheers.
