No. If you connect the mouse and the joystick direktly to the keyboard, only 5 connection to the cpu are required. If you drop the keyboard reset, only 4 lines are needed. I detached my keyboard some time ago, so it would be hard for me to find the pinout in my docus. But if nobody else has the info, I could search it in my archive. ;-) Remo Hofer -- RFC822: X.400: S=hofer;OU=urz;O=unibas;P=SWITCH;A=ARCOM;C=CH
