Re: tp755CE and external keyboard

[Joshua Hosseinoff <hosseino@yu1.yu.edu>]

It's a funny thing those keyboard because a friend of mine plugged one 
into his thinkpad 350 and he was able to use either a keyboard or a mouse 
without any special cable.  It didnt work on my 750 so I guess they made 
that port differently on some of the models.  Or it might have been a fluke.
who knows.
