And in fact plugging a PS/2 mouse into my computer freezes it
solid, but only if one wasn't plugged into it at boot time. If

It wasn't technically hotswappable before that? I certainly
abused a half dozen Mac Classics and LC IIs a helluva lot, then,
with no problems. Or maybe those are post-93 Macs, you probably
remember better than I do.
