most thinkpads i've used will allow you to put a mouse in the ps/2 port,
however if you want to use a keyboard and/or mouse you have to get the
special splitter that ibm sells.  it splits the one ps/2 port into two of
them (one for mouse, one for keyboard).

also i've had problems with my docking station everyonce in a while where
it won't recognise the keyboard/mouse plugged into the docking bay until i
reboot with it setup that way.
