Hi to all,

Need a bit of help from someone who has/had a Gigabyte GA-586HX mainboard and knows the pinout of the onboard PS/2 mouse header.
It is a 4 pin header, not the newer 5 pin header, and I have only the 5 pin cable(ok, there are only 4 wires, but in a 5 pin socket...). Here are some pictures:

Couldn't find any info on the mainboard mouse port pinout, not even in the manual.
On the mainboard it is printed only MOUSE VCC and pin 1 in marked...
I took some measurements with a multimeter and on pin no. 1,3 and 4 I've got 5V and pin 2 is GND.
Can I assume, that pin 1 in Vcc? Can I fry something on the mainboard if I connect CLK and DATA to the wrong pins(between pin 3 & 4)?
I really want to be able to use a PS/2 mouse so I could hook up this board to my KVM...

Thanks !
