    <IMG SRC="smileys/confused.gif"> I have <b>6XV-133 </b> Superpower Mother board. I need to use a serial trackball mouse connected to one of the onboard DB9 serial ports and it works fine. But I am not alloweed to unplug the PS/2 mouse. The system reboots after the first test is performed (right before the Windows splash screen appears). "<b>Disable PS/2</b>" in the BIOS Setup does not help. Is there any way to make the system work without <b><i>PS/2 Mouse </i> </b> attached?<br>

    You can get a Serial port adapter for your PS/2 mouse. This will allow the mouse to plug into the Serial port.<br>

    <IMG SRC="smileys/confused.gif"> Thank you for such a quick reply, but I do not need a serial port adapter, because this MB has two of them OnBoard an they work fine for my needs. I just need to disable PS/2 port test.<br>
    Thanks.<br><br><i>This message was edited by Yan on 12 May 2001 10:07 AM</i>
