FWIW, I've been using this for months, on a box that I've rolled from 5, 
to 6 (when I started using it), and now 7 (although outdated now).  It's 
been running perfectly, and until now I forgot I was using it.  I'm 
using it so my machine has a ps/2 keyboard on boot for BIOS and loader 
screens, but then has my usb keyboard normally.  I just leave the ps/2 
kb on top of the system, since it doesn't reboot much.

Maksim, thanks for the hard work on it so far!

Eric
