My problem with using PS2 on my laptop is there's only ONE PS2 port - so 
my choice was keyboard or mouse.

So I have a little PS2-USB gadget that lets me hook a PS2 mouse and a 
PS2 keyboard (my favorite clicky old IBM AT keyboard!) and run them into 
one USB port. It works fine and doesn't interfere with sound, but I have 
no USB sound devices yet.
