Greetings All,

On an Inspiron 3000, there is one external PS/2 connector - allowing either an
external keyboard OR mouse to be used. On some other brand notebooks (ACER), you
can connect a Y PS/2 cable, which splits this single port into 2 PS/2 ports -
allowing both external keyboard AND mouse *simultaneously*. I tried one of these
cables on my I3000 but it didn't work.

My question? Has anyone successfully got this sort of thing to work?

Dell do not sell such a cable, and even claim that it can't be done - I suspect
that they would rather I buy a port replicator :)

If someone out there has successfully achieved this, I would appreciate some
details. Oh, and please, no suggestions about using the serial port for the
mouse.

regards,

./edy
