Silly Q then. The D525MW board probably has only one usb interface, and since my mouse as also plugged into it, limiting it to USB1.1 speeds, would I gain video speed by sticking a ps2 mouse on the machine, thereby removing the speed limitation the USB1.1 mouse usage imposes? It's a thought that hasn't come up, till you mentioned it, that certainly needs investigation. I might be able to find a ps2 mouse in my midden heap of electronics here. But in half an hours excavating, I haven't even found a usb>ps2 adapter & I know well there are at least 3 here. I did find a din to ps2 though. And indicator of just how old my midden heap in here really is. I really need to do some serious rattlesnake sorting here... If I don't find one, I'll check at Staples the next time I am in Bridgeport. But its one of those Murphy's Laws, that when I walk back in from buying one of those, my eye will catch sight of one of the old ones, and it will be right where I put it an unknown amount of calendars thrown away ago. Murphy lives here, hell he even drinks my last beer now and again. ;-) > > http://www.ebay.com/itm/200-x-Mini-Portable-USB-Digital-Microscope-Endo > scope-Otoscope-Camera-with-LED-/271520292928?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash > =item3f37dee040 > > Although a bunch of the specs are a bit bogus, it is really > about 640 x 480 pixels, > but refreshes quite rapidly.

And its 3" longer than the one I bought and I couldn't mount it on my toy mill without shortening that probably nearly empty tube down to about 1.25" or less. > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT > Server from Actuate!
