Just the info I was looking for. Have you tried hot plugging as well? That's my primary reason really. Setup a file server with a 'local' keyboard that doesn't need to be there at all times. Probably do the same with an optical mouse. Thus no need to power off for the PS2 as you should know you'll screw your motherboard hot plugging a PS2. Thanks all.

FlightGear recognizes it too but I'm clueless on flying a plane. :-) _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
