Just a general comment on these PS2 mouse ports. I recently had
a bad experience w/ a Toshiba6400 portable. I blew out the PS2
port by plugging and unplugging the mouse while the power was
on (at least that's what the repair technician said). Toshiba even
prepared for this case because the PS2 port was on a separate
card from the motherboard.
I don't know whether Thinkpads are as sensitive, but I probably
won't ever buy a Toshiba because of this experience :-)
