    Problem: PS/2 mouse on COMport

    I've got a PS/2 mouse and i want to use it on my COMport, because i got no PS/2 port.
    Does anyone know how I can get my mouse to work. I got a converter for my mouse.
    I work with Windows NT 4.0{service pack 4} and Windows 98. I got the drivers for the mouse too.
    I can't seem to let my mouse to work.
    Please contact by e-mail or a reply on this board.

    I have had very limited success with mouse port adapters, although I must say that I have been able to get a couple of PS/2 Logitech mice working through a serial port. Adapting a PS/2 keyboard to an AT connector is much easier.

    My advice would be this: If your mouse does not work through a PS/2-to-serial adapter, it probably never will. :-( Your best bet is to try to find a serial mouse.
