   PMS(4)                    NetBSD Programmer's Manual                    PMS(4)

   NAME
	pms - PS/2-style bus mouse driver

   SYNOPSIS
	device pms0 at isa? port "IO_BMS0" tty irq 5 vector pmsintr

I don't know who wrote that man page, but it's totally wrong.  It
should be:

device pms0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector pmsintr

That said, I wrote the pms driver without being able to test it; it
was a `best' guess meant for someone else to try and get working.  I
should have put `THIS DRIVER PROBABLY DOESN'T WORK' all over it.

Someone else recently reported that he had it working; when he fixes a
small bogon I will put it in our source tree.
