Can anyone tell me what is the pinout of the PS/2 connector on this board? I bought some PS/2 headers, but although advertised that they are looking like they would fit the connector, they came as 5x2 headers with 4 wires: red, yellow, green and blue - I don't know what is the purpose of each. Thanks for any hints.
just try combinations, that is what I did with my soyo 486 mobo... 🙁
There is a 25% chance that I connect Vcc to Data and that would probably damage the mouse...
nope... I have tried with mine, surelly I connected it wrong! still working with it, a Logitech ps2 optical one
if you swap + and - you will definitely fry it...
1+1=10

Isn't it documented in the manual?
You cabn still download it from Asus website...the socket 3 board can be found in their socket 5 board section
I use a PS/2 mouse with my Asus PC/I 486SP3G mobo which is from the same year so how it's wired might help you?

I have the manual, but unfortunately the mouse header is not documented 🙁. It consists of 6 pins that form the letter 'C'. Amigaz, if your header also looks like this, then please post how it's wired.
so I was lucky OR the logitech mouse is very good. I have tried this method with 3 different boards, I must have swapped all lines several times. As I said, the mouse still works great!
From all the mobo manuals I have seen only some ECS one did document the pins, that where completelly wrong btw... back then nothing was standard...[/quote]
