On a related note the usb to ps2 does not work very reliably for me. After booting the mouse and keybrd is never recognised. One has to unplug and replug, the keyboard will start but not the mouse. Also it does not work at all with a KVM switch. The result is I have to use multiple mice, or junk the KVM for a newer version. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
