SGI used to have them back in the day, mouse plugged into one end of 
kbd, other end plugged into PS/2 port on computer, signals for both 
apparently went through same cable to computer. Convenient packaging, 
probably proprietary, I was just curious what extra stuff I was/am gonna 
need to complete the build .... Thanx & have a nice day :-) .....
