That's not how language works. I'm plugging the device into the
computer, not the computer into the device.
 
If I want to plug an IDE device into a SCSI port, I want an IDE to
SCSI convertor.
 
If I want to plug a set of headphones with with a phono plug into a
sound system with a coax socket I want a phono to coax convertor.
 
If I want to plug a PS-2 keyboard into a 5-DIN keyboard socket I
want a PS-2 to 5-DIN convertor.
