Hi,

I've got a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse. I just got a Logitech USB MX
DUO keyboard/mouse combo. What I am trying to do is to set it all up so
that I can use both keyboards and both mice. I have USB keyboard support
set to AUTO in my BIOS (there are Auto/Enabled/Disabled) and USB mouse
support set to enabled (there's Enabled/Disabled, no Auto). When I turn my
system on, the keyboards both freeze up so that after a couple of seconds,
they don't work at all until Windows loads. That means that I can't enter
my RAID setup (Ctrl+H), or select to boot to a different OS from the loader.
Once Windows is loaded, I can use both keyboards and the USB mouse, but the
PS/2 mouse does not work (it's not even detected by Windows). What I need
is to be able to use both keyboards and both mice in both Windows and DOS.
Oh, and how often do I need to push the CONNECT buttons? It seems like
every time it won't work until I do.

So, how can I do that? What do I need to do/configure/set/etc.?


Thanks a lot.
