Question is can I use the mouse with my new computer which only has DB25 serial ports? The mouse has a 6 pin round plug. Are there any converters that'll allow me to do this? Failing that can someone give me the various pin-outs on the mouse? Thanks... When I purchsed my genius mouse a year ago, it came (for $5 extra) with a db9 to ps/2 port connection. I'd assume that the reverse is made but if not you could reverse engineer it. Look in a computer catalog or big store (compu-use (softwarehouse), jade computers, etc...) bruce -- | Bruce O'Neel | internet : oneel@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov| | Code 664/STX | span : lheavx::oneel | | NASA/GSFC Bld 28/W281 |compuserve: 72737,1315 | | Greenbelt MD 20771 | AT&Tnet : (301)-286-4585 | Thats me in the corner, thats me in the spotlight, losin' my religion -- rem
