Hello,
Just a stupid question from someone who still not digged up through
all those huge pile of datasheets and other documentation... 8-)
Is it possible to use SSP peripherial of LPC213x for PS/2
keyboard/mouse interface? I now trying to figure this out, reading LPC
user manual and all information that I found about PS/2 protocol, but
maybe someone already figured out that something make them completely
incompatible?

Keep digging into the data on the keyboard protocol. You'll find that
it is a synchronis protocol where the keyboard is the clock generator.
The clock line is also used as a CTS line. IIRC, it is an 11bit
transfer. It's been many years since I did anything with the keyboard,
the signals for PS/2 keyboards are identical with AT Keyboards. XT
keyboards were something entirely different, they were simple uarts.
The later keybaords are intelligent and have a handshake protocol.
There is always bit-banging of the LPC port pins... That was the
solution I used on the 8042 controller. TomW --
