I was definitely still using ps/2 with my first Athlon 64 chip.

My mistake then! Except for the 486 series I was strictly an Intel kid. I guess we often forget that AMD is the one who “won” the 64 bit war.

I have fond memories of writing interrupt handlers (staying on topic…) and using Soft-ICE on my side monochrome monitor to debug them. Good times!

I'm still using one PS/2 keyboard (BTC 5139), although it might be a PS/2 -> USB converter chip on the motherboard.
