Since > laptops have USB, NIC & modems ports, what are people plugging into them? My old Dell Inspiron 600M at home and pretty-new Dell Latitude D610 at work both have serial/parallel port. Why do you need PS/2? There are plenty of USB mouse/keyboard. Interestingly, the IT guys just installed a port replicator for the D610 and it only adds PS/2 ports and S/PDIF to the existing ports.
