Mistake in demo board schematic

There seems to be a mistake in the demo board schematic. The "clock" and "data" connections to the Propeller are swapped for both the keyboard and the mouse PS/2 ports. I learned this because I'm basically duplicating the demo board for my PropStick computer, and I couldn't get the mouse and keyboard demo programs to work until I switched these connections.

The way the schematic shows it:

P24 <--> Mouse Data
P25 <--> Mouse Clock
P26 <--> Keyboard Data
P27 <--> Keyboard Clock

The correct way they should be hooked up (the way they must have been physically connected in the demo board) is:

P24 <--> Mouse Clock
P25 <--> Mouse Data
P26 <--> Keyboard Clock
P27 <--> Keyboard Data

Could someone with a demo board verify this for me?

    Yes, someone realized this the other day and it has just been fixed. It should be downloadable now. We had to swap the "data" and "clock" labels on both of the PS/2 connectors. No wiring change was needed, just the label swap.
