hey everyone
i just bought a logitech first mouse with scroll wheel today (oem). the wire is straight ps/2 (not usb to ps/2). so anyways, on my old p166 machine, i only have serial. so i just used my regular ps/2 to serial adapter and tried to plug the mouse in. windows restarted and didn't recognize the mouse. Now, i also have the *exact* same mouse, except with NO scroll. the non-scroll mouse is also straight ps/2, and it works fine with the adapter. However, when i use the one WITH scroll, it's not recognized. I've had problems like this before where i couldn't get an optical mouse to work when going from ps/2 to serial. Any ideas?
thanks for you help
oh by the way, i have yet to try the mouse in a system that has a ps/2 port. i'll do that tomorrow
