I built a new system and fortunately all went well, except I could not get it to recognize the mouse: turned out my FIC motherboard wanted a specific cable assembly from the mb pin set to the mouse. I always thought they were all the same, but this is NOT true. Turns out the pins are a bit different in configuration. The mouse worked fine on other systems with various boards, I needed a DTK-type cable. Now all is fine, my serial mouse and I are best of friends. Ray PCBUILD only works if you contribute.
