You are confused. :) Is this true? The ACER system which I have here has a mini-DIN connector, but it is a busmouse controller backing the connector, not the keyboard controller. It uses IRQ 12. I am *very* familiar with this particular bus mouse because ACER (stupidly) left the mouse out of the PnP BIOS local devices list in ROM, and the PnP stuff in Win95 was forever giving IRQ12 away to an Adaptec SCSI controller until we went in and manually disabled the PnP for the Adaptec and configured Win95 to know that the mouse was hard-coded for IRQ 12. That doesn't mean that this isn't an unrealted problem, however. 8-(. ...Stupid, frigging, !@#$%! ISA bus.
