I am beginning to suspect that a PS2 mouse is not going to fit on my
computer. If I remember correctly, the PS2 mouse has a "connection fitting"
on the computer similar to the keyboard connection fitting. My computer has
only one such connection fitting, and that is for the keyboard. Unless a PS2
mouse can have both type connection, it looks like I'm up the proverbial
creek without the proverbial paddle. Thanks for your help.
