Kazutaka is the new expert in the PS/2 & keyboard area, so I've Cc'd him with this. He's got a new driver for me to try out, but due to time constraints and the holidays I haven't done anything with it. I *just* got my hands free for a little time this morning, so as soon as I finish up email I'm going to install and test it on my box. > The 3c589c-combo. > > It is brand new..
