Question synaptics touchpad to usb

i have managed to find some information on this forum about modifying synaptics touchpads.

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/input-devices/71733-synaptics-touchpad-tm41puk324.html

and

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/input-devices/32899-laptop-touchpad-ps2.html

both threads refer to the touchpad being intergrated with the ps/2 slot,
however, i was wondering is there a way to wire the pad up to a usb slot??? or even a serial port??

any help would be great

i cant just buy one, its for a project im doing.

could i interface the ps2 to a serial connection just by hooking up the correct pins? or would there be a problem with protocols again or the serial not understanding the ps2 input?

without reading those links, the first thing that comes to mind is wire it to PS2 then use a ps2 to usb adapter ... that might get things in the right direction
