	It should work just fine on end.  You might check out one of
	the PC type accessory stands, and try to avoid putting it where
	it will suck in a lot of floor level dust and dirt.

>   Second, what sorts of cords will I need to specify?

	Since the cord has the same pinout as an IBM PC, any of the
	PC accessory keyboard extension cords should work.  Note that
	while the connector is compatible, the protocol is a bit
	different, so don't try any "keyboard enhancers"...

	For the mouse, you need some kind of 9-pin D "Joystick Extender"
	cable.  Make sure it has all 9 pins wired though...
