[ILUG] Toshiba Portege 7200 and a PS/2 Y-splitter

[Brendan Kehoe]

Has anyone found a way to get a Portege 7200 laptop accept the use of a PS/2
Y-splitter?  I'd love it if my PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard could both feed
into the single PS/2 port that's available in the I/O Adaptor that came with
the PS/2.  (I've chosen to not try to buy the docking station, at least so
far.  Thus only the single port.)

I'm finding that under Windows98 SE, it sees neither the keyboard nor the
mouse (a Contour Perfit mouse).  Under Linux with a 2.4.2 kernel, it sees the
keyboard when it's plugged in the `M' mouse port of the Y-splitter, but it
cannot see the mouse in either port.  (The linux part is examined looking at
/dev/psaux and playing with gpm.)

Thanks for any hints,
B
