Hi Everybody, Thank you for all your replys, however, I think that I did not describe the situation correctly.
I have an older type pentium with AT-style board ( i think it is called that way, it has one 5-pin keyboard connector). I do not recall seeing anything in BIOS related to PS/2 bus (I will check), I can disable/enable com and lpt ports.. Well, I will check it again. The motherboard itself has four pins sticking out and it says "PS/2 mouse". So I thought, I could find some socket with 4 pins on one side and 6 on the other (a 6-pin PS mouse connector) and put the mouse on it. But I had never seen such adapters. Do they exist? (sounds like an academic-style question...) I can not put a network card in because of that. :( Have a mouse and a modem, 2-channel IDE, video, sound and a video capture card. That is it. NO IRQs left......... The only hope is this IRQ12.... business. Thanks to all replys again, ZORO ================================================ Take these broken wings and learn to fly... ///|\\\ 0 0 ( . ) http://pages.nyu.edu/~rqf6512 - | |
