| 1121985 | 2010-07-24 11:58:00 | Just downloaded the user Manual for Gigabyte P55A-UD3R MB and had a quick browse through it. Found that there is only one common PS/2 port for Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse, which means it can only be used with either a keyboard or a mouse. The other (KB or mouse) has to be connected to a USB port. Is this a norm for socket 1156 board or it's only for this particular M'B? |

| 1121986 | 2010-07-24 12:04:00 | Probably ran out of space on the back. Altho, I doubt many people use PS/2 now anyway | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1121987 | 2010-07-24 12:40:00 | Most if not all today's keyboards and mice are USB now. My last PS/2 peripheral was an ancient keyboard some six years ago! | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 1121988 | 2010-07-24 12:54:00 | I have spare PS/2 Keyboards and Meeses so I can fix older PCs. Normally I just use my USB effort. |

| 1121989 | 2010-07-24 14:31:00 | Yeah pretty much normal now, a few manufacturers tried to ditch the legacy connections, and you can find some "enthusiast" boards that don't have it, but now it is more common to have the one. TBH I would prefer if it stayed like this rather than ditching it all together as I have an arcade stick that plugs in to PS2, I could buy a USB adapter but I would have to order it from abroad since the retailer I bought it from went under :( |

| 1121991 | 2010-07-24 21:59:00 | I'm suprised some still have floppy ports. Doesn't it come handy when you wish to flash the BIOS? |

| 1121992 | 2010-07-24 22:05:00 | For some mobos yup. But most ASUS mobos now, you can flash a BIOS within the BIOS. With a USB flash drive. The next thing to go, will be IDE connectors on mobos. For more recent mobos now, there's only 1 IDE connector | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1121993 | 2010-07-25 05:39:00 | and then pci will eventually be reduced to a single slot at most on a few boards here and there. | Mirddes (10) | ||
