    The keyboard can be USB or PS2 too as well as the printer can be USB.

    Disk drive is a bit vague:

    Hard? if so is it IDE or SCSI
    Floppy?
    CD/DVD

    internal or external?

    Cheers

    Wel If the Question is HOW IS THE DATA TRANSFERED BETWEEN THE DEVICES Then the answer is

    Code:
    Keyboard ps2/AT/USB = Serial
Mouse ps2/serial/USB = Serial 

Printer            25pin    = Parallel
                        USB     = Serial

HDD                 *IDE    = Parallel
                        SCSI    = Parallel
                        SATA    = Serial  (this is the new fast breed)
    Now I hope this has helped you with your homework

    Cheers
