Hello All!
I'd like to use a serial mouse in my 286 machine, but it seems to be a more difficult task than I thought. 😐
I always receive this message:
I tried the same mouse in my 386 and 486 machine as well, the message is the same.
I attached a PS/2 mouse to my 486 and it works perfectly with this mouse driver. Then I attached a PS/2 > serial port adapter to this mouse, but it doesn't work in the serial port.
I checked the motherboard configuration of the 286 machine and the jumper settings are OK. (The serial port is enabled.) There's an PT-606 IDE controller card in the machine and the serial connector is on it. I downloaded the documentation, according to that, the jumper settings seem to be OK.
I have never used earlier serial mouses, so I have no experience about them. Could you help me, please, what should I check in order to make the serial mouse the work?
Thank you in advance, if there's any help! 😎
