re:optical mouse
Not necessarily true. I have a Type 5 mouse and keyboard. The mouse doesn't emit anything, yet it works perfectly. The DIP switch underneath the door of the keyboard on my Type 5 keyboard is as follows: 1=OFF 2=OFF 3=ON 4=OFF 5=OFF 6=OFF 7=ON HTH Mario At 10:55 9/01/02 -0800, Alex Cavnar wrote: I actually do have the special mouse pad that the mouse requires.

re:optical mouse
I actually do have the special mouse pad that the mouse requires. My problem is that the mouse does not even emit a laser beam when you boot the system. I don't even know if it's supposed to do that, but I know of no way to make it work. My keyboard has a little door on the underside of it. Is there a jumper underneath there or anything I'm suppoed to set? I also have another keyboard for it, if it turns out I'm using the wrong keyboard. The guy I bought the machine from said you had to buy the mouse and keyboard as a matched set, so I'm assuming that my one of the keyboards is supposed to work with the mouse. FYI. The previous owner stated that he could not even get the mouse to run under Solaris, so it may be that the mouse is non-functional... Thanks for all the help! --Alex Cavnar __ Do You Yahoo!?
