After posting a question on USB to this newsgroup yesterday, I now have
a question about PS/2 -- the quest never ends.  Can anyone tell me the
layout for a PS/2 mouse socket (actually, I also would like to know if
there is a difference between the PS/2 mouse and keyboard socket).
My PS/2 socket looks something like this:

           3   4

    2       8        5
      1             6
              7                        (PS/2 mouse socket, seen from
front)

(Wow, I'm good at this.  It's a bit like ASCII - art).
Okay, notches 7 and 8 look like they are just there to keep the PS/2
plug in place, and to prevent plugging it the wrong way.
Only holes 1, 2, 3 and 5 are live;  4 and 6 are dead.  From this socket,
FOUR cables lead to the main board, which has FIVE sprockets ... same
old same-o, I had the exact same problem with the USB connector
yesterday.  (Maybe cables have become very expensive, and manufacturers
simply can't afford them any more).  They five on-board pins are:

pin 1 ... data
pin 2 ... clk (?)
pin 3 ... ground
pin 4 ... nc (??)
pin 5 ... vcc (???)

If you have any info, I will be glad to hear from you.  Please reply to
newsgroup AND e.mail me directly.  Thanks.
