Yes I have just had a look at the circuit and does seem to only have one
PS2 socket, with only two active signals.  That looks like its just the
keyboard to me.

Somewhere we have a S.T.D. PS2 mouse to Quadrature mouse adaptor, its
getting messy to have to use two adaptors, especially since I would like
to get two A540s on the kvm.  

On a RISC PC I get around this with a PS2 keyboard & mouse to USB
adaptor, which is plugged into a UNIPOD.  That works like a charm, even
the scroll wheel.

Well it looks like we are back to the drawing board with that one.
