I do not have a PC nor documentation to answer this one myself: I need the pinouts of the serial port and the MS bus and serial mice plugs. Also, someone told me that a MS serial and bus mouse are the same except for the connector. Is this true? Can one be used in place of the other? Thanks for any and all help. ****************************************************************** * ************************************************************** * * * * * * * Mario D'Alessio Motorola, Inc. * * * * dalessio@motcid.UUCP Cellular Infrastructure Group * * * * * * * ************************************************************** * ******************************************************************

Ref: Append to PC-HDWE USENET (ARCHER) at 02:33:30 on 91/01/15 <I couldn't mail direct.. our dumb mailer cant resolve your id> A bus mouse is the exact same as a serial mouse. However the bus mouse has a small card that is really a special COM port that operates using a different com address than com1 or com2. I converted my bus mouse to a serial mouse (as OS/2 didn't support the bus mouse) just by unpluging the mouse from the bus port and pluging it into the serial. The port hookup is a standard DB-9 RS-232 connection.. the doc's at home so I don't know the exact hookup.
