Is this a bus mouse or a PS/2 mouse? => => Well, it's both :-) Those are synonyms. = =A PS/2 mouse sits on the second channel of the keyboard controller. = =A bus mouse sits on a card, generally on IRQ 12. = Errr... not quite (to my knowledge). The PS/2 mouse is generally on IRQ 12 (I *know* mine is). A bus mouse (which may be connected via a simple 8-bit-only plug-in card) is often on a low IRQ, such as IRQ 5 (only low IRQs are available on an 8-bit card). Gary
