PS/2 Protocol
The PS/2 protocol allows synchronous, bi-directional serial communication between the host and the device. Either side may transmit a command or data byte at any time, although only one side can transmit at one time. During initialization, the host sends command bytes to the device. Some commands are followed by argument bytes. The device acknowledges each command and argument byte with an ACK ($FA) byte, possibly followed by one or more data bytes. If the host has enabled "Stream mode" transmission, then the device may send spontaneous data packets to the host describing finger motions and button state changes.
