I did use a PS/2 mouse when I had my Aurora/sH :-) It's a standard serial port apart from the difference in the packaging (mini din instead of Sub-D9). I was thinking it wouldn't work at first but I was influence from the PC which uses the PS/2 port as a different kind of serial port with its own IRQ and only one baud setting. However from an electrical standpoint its 100% the same :-) Just a D-9 to mini din converter suffices :-) Phoebus >-- > QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:257/67) +44(0)1442-828255 >mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.firshman.demon.co.uk > Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 > TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG
