The DEC Pentium I am typing this on has a PS/2 style mouse (as do all of the PCs we have recieved from Dec). Both NetBSD 1.0 and -current run on these machines; I've never has a problem with the PS/2 mouse support. Aside from the fast that the pms0 driver is not compiled into the Generic kernel, which is not a big deal to fix. Note that I have to tell X to use the "Busmouse" protocol, not the PS/2 protocol, on /dev/pms0. -Kevin
