I have this Logitech 2 button mouse designed to be used with a serial port ONLY for longest time. Does anybody out there in net know if it is possible to connect this rodent to my PS/2 mouse port on my Model 30 (8086) so I can free up a COM port? Is there a adapter I can buy or does anybody know how to the pin configurations so I can hardwire an adapter myself? Thanks in advance.

I have seen similar questions asked many times previously, but always missed
the response. Perhaps it went by e-mail.
I'm sure that others must also be interested, also, so please post responses,
or at least a summary.
Thanks!

I just started using a Logitech mouse on the PS/2 model 30's at my school. The instructor also had problems setting up the mice, so he phoned Logitech. They told him to put the mouse in a normal serial port (not the mouse port). Then to activate the driver, we have to type: mouse ser The 'ser' sets the driver to look at the serial port, not mouse port. Hope this help you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Pratap, Victoria B.C. -=- mpratap@cue.bc.ca * (Insert quote here!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------
