The PS/2 connector also has pins for the PS/2 mouse (I have a
schematic for the Y-adapter, though I can buy them locally at Hard
Drives Northwest, for $8 or $9.)  Whether your computer wires those pins
up or not, I can't say <G>  The site I got the Y adapter schematic from
seems to be down (German site IIRC.)

  You do need to use the Y adapter (you can't plug the PS/2 mouse into a
keyboard connector directly.  WHY, I don't know!  Dumb IMHO)

  Oh, and for pretty inexpensive AT to PS/2 adapters, I think C-Gate
(http://www.computergate.com) asks 79 cents for those?  (I've thought of
offering to mail such for the price of items + mailing, next time I do a
C-Gate order, but just haven't done it, for those in the EEU etc.  Some
small parts would mail in a little pouch or cardboard envelope, pretty
easily.  (Receiver's to handle duty/tax/etc.)  Same for some electronics
parts, I get past the local electronics stores & the local airport post
office regularly, need to go there today in fact - they're open 24/7
almost all year.)
