[Elecraft] It's the 21st Century Guys! PS2 is DEAD

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

My apologies to Eric posting on a closed topic.

However, the thesis that started this is wrong.  PS/2 is but one
implementation of I2C bus technology and the I2C bus is still very
much alive in many control systems.  A great many of the general
purpose micro controllers contain dedicated I2C ports and for that
reason support for PS/2 is essentially "free".

73,
