Might check if any of your it has the sun keyboard/mouse port on the motherboard, and two ps/2 ports on one of them blank plates stealing a PCI slot. i have a ps/2 mouse and keyboard plugged into it, tried plugging a type 6 keyboard and mouse into the sun k/m port, but for some reason it didn't work. luckily, the guy who has this thing on his desk doesn't mind the ps style keyboard (i personally hate the pc style keyboard since all the keys are in the wrong place *G*) > sockets have room for one.
