I've problems with the kbm-ps2 (onboard) chip on the P6VAP-A+ 
mainboard (AMR), P3/ Coppermine, Adaptec 29160 ultra 160 SCSI, 
which uses the VIA VT82C694X/ VT82C596B chipset. It doesn't
allow print to screen after about 3-4 minutes when both, ps2 mouse
and ps2 keyboard, are used. Unplugging the ps2 mouse avoided the
problem, however, the external modem is at the serial port ...
