Found it on Adam Chapweske's page about emulating PS/2 mice with PIC
microcontrollers. Sorry, haven't got the whole URL available but a google
search for ~achapwes mouse.html should fill in the blanks.
Keyboard - I think most keyboards only use unidirectional signalling,
so probably not. Which is a pity.
USB - Quite probably. I don't have a USB mouse, but it seems that they
send/receive PS/2 format data over the USB interface, so I'd be fairly
surprised if it didn't work. /dev/psaux would have to be changed of
course, to /dev/input/mice it would seem.
