You'll notice it has a single ps/2 port available. For mouse or keyboard, not both. Don't quote me, but I think those PS/2 ports that are half green/half purple can cope with a 'Y' splitter Indeed. As the rest of my post mentioned: Ayep. You'll notice it has a single ps/2 port available. For mouse or keyboard, not both. Short of using one of those adapters that may/may not work. Instead of the previous standard of two. One for each...ps/2 is on it's way out, in favor of USB. It has been for quite sometime. Give it a few more years, boards won't even include the single port anymore, of those that still do. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = Confucius say: Those who quote me are fools. |

And to me, PS/2 is one of the most trouble-free interfaces in terms of drivers. Never seems to be a problem. I've always liked ps/2 myself, but, it's on the way out in favor of USB and has been for quite sometime. It's not uncommon to find brand new machines that don't have a single ps/2 port, but, a decent amount of usb ports instead. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = One day I shall burst my bud of calm and blossom forth into hysteria. |
