You know, this might actually be a pretty good description of reality.

The keyboard is strictly ps/2.  The mouse is the gamer's "Boomslang
Razor".  It's USB, but I had got a USB<->ps/2 converter on it, and have
been using it on the ps/2 port.

I just took the connector off and plugged the mouse into the USB port.

I've now rebooted MS Win2k 4 times without losing the mouse and
keyboard.

Whatever is happening only seems to happen when the mouse and keyboard
are both ps/2.  A BIOS bug is certainly within the realm of possibility.
