It's a three button mouse and it's unique in how it is and its name. It doesn't move around on a table, it slides on a fixed platform it is attached to, to save space. Windows says " it's safe to plug a serial mouse now" but it doesn't work. Also as I said cutemouse in DOS recognizes a mouse in COM1 …

Quick update in case anyone was still curious: After buying a drive with the exact same mech as the gateway drive and being ready for an extraction of the tray, I realized the tray was really difficult to get out, so I gave it a SUPER THOROUGH clean, and my original drive revived! So word of advice …

Replace it by a working one. It's just a cd drive after all. Seems to me like you do't like reading messages in their entirety. It's not just a CD drive, read the message again. If you're lucky, the drive is generic and the end of the tray/face can be carefully removed and reattached to another …

What kind of CD-Rom did you put in there ? Factory pressed CD or a CD you've burned yourself ? Good question: a burned CD and an audio CD. Try playing an audio CD. If that works, the drive itself should be OK, and you're down to software issues. I already tried. Didn' t work. Open it, undust it, …

Around the same time Ensonic released the ES1370 which by your own admission the dos emulation can sound decent. I did not say such thing. I said it of the SB Live! I have. Which I believe is some software based SB16 emulation, not an on-board emulation. Maybe we're talking different SB Live! cards …

There's only three cables on the case, a 3 wire power cable (standby and power states), a 2 wire HDD LED cable, and a power switch cable. The header is just a 2 row header with ZERO markings on them, this is why I am asking. Actually the motherboard has the same markings as for the G6-233 but …
