Hope someone can help with a problem I have that's driving me crazy, I brought a complete 586 upgrade kit off ebay and every thing works great except I cannot seem to get the serial mouse port working, The HDD had windows 95c on it and it's detecting the com port ok but when I plug a mouse in I'm getting an error message cannot find mouse so I tried 2 different serial port I had laying around but still no luck and I know the mouse is working ok because I've tested it on another computer.
I even tried an optical PS2 mouse with a serial adaptor and the red light under the mouse flickers a couple of times when windows loads but doesn't stay on so theres power getting to the port I just don't know why the mouse is not working I've even tried installing Windows 98se on another drive I have but still no mouse and from what on read on the USBman web site a USB add on card will not work with windows 95c because the USB has to be built into the motherboard for it to work.
My only other option is to use windows 98 because it detects the USB card strait away and a USB mouse works perfect but I wonted to use win95 to play my old games and from past experience I know it excepts Dos 6.22 a lot better than 98
Hope someone can help with this.
The Motherboard I have is a Soyo SY-4SAW/2/W5
