My problem with using PS2 on my laptop is there's only ONE PS2 port - so
my choice was keyboard or mouse.
So I have a little PS2-USB gadget that lets me hook a PS2 mouse and a
PS2 keyboard (my favorite clicky old IBM AT keyboard!) and run them into
one USB port. It works fine and doesn't interfere with sound, but I have
no USB sound devices yet.
