    Patent number: 6514092
    Abstract: A PS/2 connector compatible with the printed circuit board layout of an S-terminal is described. The PS/2 connector can be mounted on a printed circuit board with an S-terminal layout. The PS/2 connector comprises a housing, six sockets, a dowel pin, two clicks and six modified pins. The six sockets connect with the peripheral device and transmit the signals. The dowel pin positions the PS/2 connector on a printed circuit board. The two clicks fix the PS/2 connector on the printed circuit board. The six modified pins can attach the S-terminal layout on the printed circuit board. Another aspect of the invention provides a selectable motherboard for utilizing the PS/2 connector with the S-terminal layout. The motherboard has a modified PS/2 connector, PS/2 circuits, a first switch, S-terminal circuits, and a second switch. The motherboard may turn on/off the first switch or second switch to control which circuits are used with the S-terminal layout on the motherboard.
