Dual head SGI + PS/2 Inquries

RE: Dual head SGI + PS/2 Inquries
Hello!

Without a dual VPro carrier, it would be very difficult to mount the second V6 into a single Octane. I believe there was some discussion around here at one point about modding single carriers for it, but I'm not sure anyone was successful.

In my experience, the Octane only recognizes USB devices with adapters if the keyboard/mouse support the PS/2 protocol. This does rule out a lot of very modern peripherals, but most devices from the transition period between PS/2 and USB peripherals will work fine.
