You're right, that does look like your standard AT keyboard and Logitech mouse. I tried an AT keyboard just a couple of minutes back and it's close, but it doesn't work properly. The keyboard LEDs cycle while the 2030's running its (very lengthy) diagnostics but once I get to a prompt, I get gibberish from it -- looks like the keyboard scancodes are completely different. (Just for fun I tried an XT keyboard and that doesn't work at all...)
If it's that close that it's safe to connect to a PC, you could determine the scancodes by running "showkey -s" under linux. It might be something like "Set 3" which is what SGIs used to use (and documented in their manpages).
And I found a page somewhere (sorry, forgot where) that mentioned using a Logitech Trackman on a RC2030 which worked "99% of the time" so a fairly common mouse might work. Most of the Logitech mice I've seen like the one in the picture Al found, were quadrature mice (X+, X-, Y+, Y- and 2/3 button signals) but presumably there were serial mice in that style too.
