Keyboard and mouse connectors.
Table 15.2 Keyboard Connector Signals and Specifications
PS/2 mouse devices also use the 6-pin mini-DIN connector and have the same pinout and
signal descriptions as the keyboard connector; however, the data packets are incompat-
ible. Therefore, you can easily plug a motherboard mouse (PS/2-style) into a mini-DIN
keyboard connector or plug the mini-DIN keyboard connector into a motherboard mouse
port. Neither one will work properly in this situation, though.
