The keyboard  / mouse for these things have a PS2 type connector but
they're definitely not a PS2 keyboard/mouse.  I had to buy an old
Indigo (toaster shaped box, not the Indigo2) just to get a set after I
stupidly gave my original away when I sold my first Onyx.

Later I bought an adapter for these things so that I could use
ordinary PS2 keyboards with them and you can probably find them if you
look around.  It wasn't expensive, something like 50 bucks.
