Folks,
I need help with this, trying to connect a PS/2 Mouse to my retro - Win 98 computer but can't figure out the pin-out for this. Has anybody been able to get this to work. I rather use a PS/2 mouse versus a serial port mouse..
Thx,
Paul
pinout depends on mobo , tell us the model and maybe a valid pinout can be found - else it's trial and error.
A multimeter can help you find GND and +5v so it's only 2 more pins to decrypt , it's easy.
The PCChips M573 has one of these headers which I assume is for mouse.
Is this too much voodoo?
After some research, its an ASUS P5A-B Super 7 MB. Trying to plug into a COM port won't work, this MB has a USB, Infrared, PS/2 Mouse Module Connector (USB/MIR, 18-1 pin block). I'm going to play around with the pinout to see if I can get it to work now plugging into that block.
Page 30 of the user manual has the pinout: http://www.motherboards.org/files/manuals/1/p5ab-107.pdf
You need pins 6,7,9,15 for a mouseport (mouseclock, gnd, +5v, mousedata)
Got it - thanks!
