I'm afraid I don't know too much about PS/2. Take a look at www.beyondlogic.org for more info. It appears based on a bit of info they have there that the data/clock lines are open collector (on a keyboard), but your PIC (unless you work it as such) will NOT have OC I/O. Okay, a little more searching produced this: http://panda.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~achapwes/PICmicro/PS2/ps2.htm from my own alma mater, North Dakota State University. There is a little on there about connecting a microcontroller and KB concurrently. I think, anyway, but I didn't read it too hard. They suggest making your own OC drivers for the PIC. May be worth a read.
