I also remember that some motherboards were picky about what ps/2 port you used for your mouse or keyboard and others that didn't give a poo poo.

I've never come across a motherboard that would accept a PS/2 device that wasn't plugged in at boot.

I haven't encountered more than a dozen computers in 15 years of doing dumb poo poo with computers where I couldn't get a ps2 keyboard easily working live plugging it.

The mouse is another story.

I must be remembering wrong then. We use new computers where I work. :smug:

Personally, I'm looking forward to Y2K38.

I'm retired by then. :smug:

Edit, no I'm not. :cry:

Saw this on Reddit. I think Xerox is overreacting just a little bit.

If you're using Windows give Macrium Reflect a try.

Except for *nix boxes I'm using nothing but Macrium nowadays. I've even bought a license for (better) home use.

If I plug in only a USB IR remote, my Dell laptop won't boot without pressing a key on the internal keyboard which is quite annoying since it's ostenibly my HTPC. Oddly if I plug a wireless keyboard/mouse dongle as well it boots fine.

There's an option in BIOS to ignore keyboard errors.
