Hi,
When I originally installed NetBSD on my system a couple of months
back, I was more than a bit taken aback to discover that the PS/2 mouse
device on NetBSD is pms0 rather than psm0 (which is what I am accustomed to).
It's not a big deal, but I am curious about why it is named pms0. Honestly,
it seems a little odd to have a PMS device. ;) Thanks.
