How to: Install a PS/2 touchpad.
Solution:
Turn off the computer, connect the new touchpad to a PS/2 touchpad port, and turn on the computer.
NOTE: Install a PS/2 touchpad driver if necessary.
1) Shutdown Windows 95, and turn off the computer.
2) Connect the new touchpad to a PS/2 port on the back of the computer.
NOTE 1: A PS/2 mouse port is a mini-DIN exactly like a mini-keyboard connector.
NOTE 2: PS/2 mouse ports and bus mouse ports use identical connectors, but are incompatible with one another. Refer to the computer user's manual for proper identification of a mini-DIN connector.
CAUTION: Connecting a PS/2 style touchpad to a bus mouse port can damage the motherboard and the touchpad.
3) Turn on the computer.
NOTE: Windows 95 may auto-detect the touchpad as a mouse and configure the touchpad.
4) If the touchpad was not auto-detected, install the touchpad driver.
NOTE 1: A touchpad is an alternative to a mouse as a pointing device, and cannot be used while a mouse is installed on the computer.
NOTE 2: The touchpad installation disk may include a program that will 'test' the touchpad installation (typically named test.com). Refer to the touchpad installation manual for detailed configuration information.
NOTE 3: If the touchpad does not work after installing the touchpad driver, check for a resource conflict with the PS/2 mouse port. PS/2 mouse port connectors commonly use IRQ12 and I/O port address 60h and 64h.
