Dave also answered, afraid I can't as I got a dock, which has the PS/2
keyboard & mouse inputs. I got it for the base station for the MBR 3400, and
I just plop the wallmount one into there and plug in a mouse/keybd when I
want to muck with stuff. That's pretty dang rare, the keyboard & mouse
typically sit in the attic storage area.
