On Tue, Apr 25, 2006 at 06:27:53PM -0400 I heard the voice of
Lucas Holt, and lo! it spake thus:

I worked with someone once that said they blew out the ps/2 port on
the motherboard.

I've seen this happen several times. Some boards were later revived
by judicious use of a soldering iron, but not all.

These days, I'd think USB keyboards would be easier than KVM switches.
