AFAIK, no. I think that to do that, you would need two video cards. > Second, he's got only one PS/2 port but wants to operate both an > external mouse (PS/2) and an old external keyboard (the old bigger > port style with a PS/2 adaptor) on it.

I don't think the AT->PS/2 adaptor would make a difference. HTH Hubert
