Hi everyone! I have a problem with my Logitech Series 9 serial mouse. It is working on different machines from DOS to Win95 but not under Win98 which won't recognize it. My other serial mice and a PS/2-Serial Combo mouse is working with Win98. Any ideas why it is just the Series 9? Greetings!

Ok i had time to poke around. 1. JP1-6 and 8-11 have no connection on pin 1; and are connected to gnd via 10k resistors. They only have an effect when i put them directly to gnd (1k also works). 2. JP7 and 12-15 are IRQ jumpers (LPT/COM) and go to the chip and irq-buslanes, without resistors. 3. …

You should be able to test the voldet capability with this guide: http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/amd5x86.htm CPU Voltage The Am5x86 needs a supply voltage of 3.45V + 0.15V. Setting the voltage jumpers as for the 3.3V 486DX4 will normally take care of this. Note that most motherboards …

Yes exactly, but in that pic/schematic the din-connector is "midi out". edit: i know, i'm counting beans here. I know that the midi signals are going out on that side. But if you have a connector on a device that is called "midi out" i would use another description 😁
