HI,

Questions and suggestions.

Unless the adapter came with the mouse the chance of it working is very
slim.
If you purchased the adapter separate from the mouse, it is a real crap
shoot, for it to work.

Is the Serial port on an ATX board or an AT board using ribbon cables?
Is it possible if the latter the ribbon cable is on wrong?

Make sure you try and use com 1 for the mouse and disable come 2-4 until
you get it working.


Thanks and have a Great Day!
