RE: Moving up to the H61 boards & slimmed-system HW Questions & Musings...

Dawnrazor,

Yes, you need to keep a ground connection between the mouse/keyboard and the motherboard AND also connect the 5v supply to that ground connection. The only connection you are cutting is between the motherboard 5v connection to the mouse/keyboard in the extension cable and connecting the mouse/keyboard side to the 5v supply.

Of course, if you wanted to get REAL fancy, you could setup an optical or GMR isolator on the data lines and break the ground. But I REALLY don't think that would be worthwhile. (Don't think I haven't considered it, tho!)

Later!
