No for mouse but yes for keyboard, but only via the "diagnostic" I/O
interface, not a full serial driver. You can use this by setting the
default console configuration option in the i386 PC HAL to 2 (for the
"screen"), and then standard I/O in your app should go via screen and
keyboard.

You may also have to disable the "inherit console" HAL CDL option.

Really we need true keyboard/mouse drivers though.
