Hi,
I got this board:
I have installed Win98se, but I can not get a serial mouse to work.
The comm ports, & pins in the MB are labeled. I found a serial cable header and I have the red side of that small ribbon cable connected to pin 1,2.
Both Comm 1 & 2 are enabled in the BIOS.
I have 3 serial mice, 2 Microsoft, 1 Logitech. WIN98 does not see any of them on comm 1 or 2. I do not know if these are working mice. How can I verify?
I also went through the win98 find non PnP hardware and I get nothing.
I manually installed the win98 generic serial mouse diver, and still no mouse.
I got this board bare, so it might have been retired because the comm ports died. Everything else on this board works great.
Any suggestions or ideas??
Thanks
