   See if you can play Raptor Call of the Shadows then.   It talks about PS/2 in

   -Adapters can do burst-mode where it can have complete control of the DMA   
   channel for up to 12mSec.

   compete for every arbitration phase and will obtain more than its fair share   
   of channel usage but allows for smoother audio play back."
