I have been trying to setup a serial mouse with a Floppy/IDE controller card (Winbond W83758P/W83757F) and it took me a while to find out that the serial cable connector that came with it is the culprit. I bought mine on ebay and I thought the seller must have changed the serial cable connector with an incorrect one? Although on ebay when you look for this controller card they come with exactly the same serial cable connector as mine. I’m not really sure why but with jumper wires i rerouted the pins according to the RS-232 mouse pinouts and now my serial mouse works with this controller card.
Do you know any other available 9pin serial cable connector other the usual one?
