I  don't have a PS/2 mouse  so it isdifficult for  me to fill  the entry if
noone send  me the answer...  I'll try to update  the entry based on what I

The authors of  the driver say soon  now.  There are  some issues  to solve
before releasing it. All IDE CD-ROM are not equal as I understand (and I've
