The first question would by why not use ps2 mouse? Well the case I have is totally blocked off at the ps2 port for this motherboard 🙁
So I am trying to use the onboard serial com ports but the mouse is not working.
Tried com1 + com2
This is a Dos only system.
I am using the same mouse driver that this mouse works for a 386 on a com port. So the driver is not the issue
The cable is plugged pin1 to pin1 on the header so the connection is ok, tried 2 cables.
Verified the addresses in the bios and the driver are the same.
Feipowa you know this board inside and out I hope there is some easy trick that I don't know to get it going.
Otherwise I guess using a multimeter to check pins for voltage on the ports is next, but for both com ports to fail is not very likely.
I am running the system at 40fsb and slightly tight ram timings if it makes any difference
anybody got any ideas? its one of my main systems so taking out the motherboard is not a option for me, its packed pretty tight and looking for solutions with open case
