As it happens, just after sending the last message the mouse/keyboard 
stopped working. Once it had stopped the stream of characters was no 
longer available from /dev/input/mice when I use the PS2 mouse. As 
before the USB mouse works.

Given what has been said about the 1010, I'll move its slot to try to 
get that potential problem out of the way.
