This reminds me of something else related to mice and keyboards: my
laptip has a keyboard and touchpad which are both functioning as PS/2
devices. But there is also an extra PS/2 connector. Connecting a mouse
or keyboard seems to do nothing at all, no extra device is detected. (It
also seems to be ignored with (cough) mswindows). How could I use this
port? Would there be a pckbc1 apart from pckbc0 and if so, how would I
configure it? (pckbc* at isa does not work).
