I was trying to hookup a ps2 mouse (with scroll), on an older cpu which has a serial port for a mouse.

The mouse I'm trying to install is a AOpen 2 button with scroll. I used an adapter that converts ps2 to serial. The adapter I bought seperately at some electronics supply shop.

I know the PS2 uses a 5volt system while the serial a 10 volt system.

But is there any simple way to get the cpu to detect the mouse and use it?!

Thanks!

JP

as far as i know you need a special mouse for that. not all of them will work. Go to the store and find a ps2 mouse with the adapter in the package. it shoud not rum more than 5 usd.

If I could only find a store that sells these.. Or that sells real serial mice.

Thanks for the reply hondaman-iac.

Ive seen mice not work with the adaptor you best bet would be to try to find a serial mouse. What OS is the Computer?
