Really? I use here a couple of computer whereas each hungs on an 
serial KVM switch. Mouse is attached on com1 anyway. moses.sys in 
config.sys has still NO switch attached.

Sometimes I have to do more maintenance in hardware. Then I remove the 
computer from the serial KVM carry it ino another room whereas an PS/2 
is sitting. Attaching PS/2 keyboard and mouee the boot lets both 
keyboard and mouse work even as if it were installed with PS/2 
devises. No change to config.sys is needed.
