Serial mice and standard PC keyboards don't seem to mind except that the
keyboard repeat rate may get set really low. Hot swapping PS/2 mice seems
(in my experience) to always lock up the system when
attaching/re-attaching the mouse (under Linux). I've done it on Win95
boxes and the system doesn't lock up, but the mouse isn't usable until
next reboot.
