+marsond (fix Enter key for Marson/USBLink PS/2=>USB adaptor).
+
+marsond is a daemon for Linux that fixes an issue with a particular
+model of PS/2 => USB keyboard adaptor, the MT606-1 (aka "Marson
+Keyboard and Mouse Link", aka USBLink. The symptom: in games and
+emulators, the Enter key only works sometimes.
+
+marsond uses a udev rule to start automatically when the adaptor is
+plugged in. If the vendor and product IDs of your broken adaptor don't
+match the ones in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-marsond.rules, you can edit the
+IDs in that file and run "udevadm control --reload".
+
+If you're upgrading from an older verison of marsond on a machine
+where the daemon is still running, the easiest thing to do is unplug
+the adaptor and plug it back into the USB port. You could also
+"killall marsond" and then manually start it by running "marsond".
