has its CONSOLE port connected to a Master's “PC x” port.  Slave only 
exists in cascade configuration.

Determine the port number of each computer.  For computers using PS/2 
mouse, connect the computer's mouse and keyboard cables to the 
StreamLine’s  connectors marked with a mouse and keyboard 
respectively, as shown in figure 4 . Repeat this step for PC 1 to PC 8.
