Yoh Barry, how's your new PC going, still under construction ?
But, what do you do with the existing PS2 ports and just how fast can you
type anyway ?
I'd stick with the PS2 ports for now  and just disable any other ports you
dont require.
If quantity of USB ports is an issue, most mobos have an extra couple
onboard just requiring
an adapter cable.
