Don't ask why, long story. I'm trying to connect a standard Microsoft PS/2 mouse to a serial port. I bought a PS/2 to serial port converter and hooked it up.
The problem is Windows doesn't see the mouse. Is there some configuration I have to set to get this to work?
I've tried setting the com port to 2,3, and 4. The irq is listed at 3 and not shared with any other device.
I've even tried installing the Intellipoint software, hoping it would somehow scan the serial port and detect it.
So far no luck. Please help.
BTW, I'm trying to do this under WinME on an old Intel LX motherboard and a PII 266.
