	You're right.  I just checked the connector on the end of one of
the keyboard cables.  The mouse (which plugs into a connector on the
keyboard) is a subset of that -- three pins used, IIRC, but the easily
accessible mice are currently USB ones, and it is past 1:00 AM, so I'm
not going to dig one out to verify that.

	But a PC (PS/2) Keyboard connector has a square molded key in
the middle, and will not fit in the same socket, and will not work the
same.

	Enjoy,
