If your mouse has a small, round connector then it is a PS/2. If your
mouse has a thick, rectangular connector, it is a bus mouse. If it has a
PS/2 connector plugged into a rectangular adapter, I can't remember what
you do. Try the generic setting first. If it doesn't work, you have a
_really_ old mouse. Look on the bottom, it may say Logitech or
Microsoft, try those settings. Or toss it and get a $10 generic mouse
which will work better anyway :-)
