The keyboard and mouse was'nt listed in my doc's, but I can check my cable
by by the weekend if you'd like.
The keyboard use 4 pins if that helps, I don't know if's using a common
protocol.
The Mouse-plug is a 7 pin mini-din, like PS2 i think...
I'm using the 'hockeypuck' for now, but I cat try a Logitech tonigth...
Sigge.
