I dont know who is more confused you or me now, how can your eth0 be in a slot
which does not exsist,? all psaux is, is a device, a ps2 mouse always uses IRQ
12, i have never seen a computer with a ISA or PCI slot for a ps2 mouse, now do
you mean your eth0 card uses IRQ12,?.
I have several types of motherboard here, one has a onboard small 6 pin din
type plug another has a 5 pin flat connector which then has a seperate
attachable metal plate with a 5 pin socket, which then fits neatly in one of
the case slot holes. They both do the same job using the same IRQ and mouse.

A question, do you then still have 2 comm ports available now that you say the
mouse connects to the motherboard in this way.?

Ah, right we are getting places then, you know it works on one machine right,
so you then know what sort of mouse it is.
