I came in a little late on this thread also, so appologies if this has already been asked, but why not just use a PS/2 Y adapter if you want external keyboard and mouse simultaneously on a 100CT? I bought one at the same time I bought my Libretto, and have been using external keyboard and mouse ever since whenever I am using the machine at home. The only odd thing I have never been able to explain is that it only works properly if I plug the mouse into the socket labelled 'keyboard' and the keyboard has to go into the mouse socket..
