I am putting together a P3-1000 based machine .  I will also  a USB
gamestick controller and a digital camera with USB connection.

I have noticed that keyboards come with either PS2 connections or USB
connections.  Some of the USB keyboards have 2 additional USB connections on
the back of the keyboard (makes for easy access plus gives you a free USB
connection) .  HOWEVER, this additional back of keyboard USB connection is
limited to 100 milli amps and  the PS2 connection on the back of the 'puter
gets wasted.

So - which way to go -- a Keyboard that uses a PS2 connection or one that
uses a USB connection but gives the added advantage of an extra back of
keyboard connection. ( This one sounds like it would be convenient to plug
the digital camera into)

Thanks

Barry in Brisbane
