In case you're interested, my need would be to use one computer simultaneously with two users. I already have two screens, so this special mouse/keyboard driver would effectively split up the whole interface as if the two sets of screen/mouse/keyboard were two terminals. But without most of the software support and hardware required for a real terminal server. Anyway, even two mouse cursors without the keyboard splitting are useful for our need.

For DOS, there's one screen and one keyboard. That's it. Anything beyond that (you see, even a single mouse) must be managed by additional drivers.
