I can gladly take these bits off your hands if they are available still.
I am especially interested in the laptop as I hope to be able to fix
it. :)

I am over in Kilburn Park area so Camden is just one bus away. :)

I am currently using an USB mouse on my FC3 box, and using a using a usb
mouse via usb2ps2 dongle through a KVM switch on a group of 4 machines 3
are FC3 and one is Astaro. All worked out of the box.

Maybe posting your difficulties with the USB not working will get a
response for that which was not picked up by people uninterested in more
computer stuff. Hope that helps, I do not need a keyboard or mouse
though.

Regards,

Justin
