FWIW - is the ps2 port broke because of the wrong connector, or is
the 6pin mini DIN on the moboard? I've noticed three types, so far,
of connectors used: 5 in line, 6 in line and 2x5, plugging into the
boards header..
The 5 in line plugged into the 6 in line header definately will not
work even with the proper pin #2 blank fill.. I just went thru that
reconfiging the clips after finding the pin outs on the Web.. For
some reason V+, data, clock and earth are not standard.. I found V+
and earth easily and took a 50% chance on data and clock.. I was
wrong the first time - OK the second..
