Because the keyboad is connected to a HIL hub and it's also a
reminiscent of the time before I learned that the keyboard and mouse
are not handled entirely separate anymore.  I still have to strip some
config options from the configuration.

Well, at one time I tried to fix the mouse problem by connecting a
serial mouse to ttyS0/ttyS1 but it didn't work either, even though a
getty on that port worked and I could log in, hence the port works at
least and is supported in the kernel.

Same as above, because the mouse is connected to a HIL hub and it's a
reminiscent from the time before I learned that the keyboard and mouse
are not handled entirely separate anymore for parisc.

No it isn't.  That's the case for 712, not this one.  There's a HIL
hub where I can connect one keyboard, one mouse and another HIL hub.
The case doesn't have any PS/2 socket.

Might well be.  I'm still working on stripping the stuff and testing
various combinations.

Aha.  I thought it was different.  Maybe I misread Helges mail.

Well, at least physically this is possible.  I haven't tried to use
that combination, though, since I have the original mouse and
keyboard as well.  However, I could give it a try once I find a
working config combination.
