- I've got a similar problem, only my rodent is a Logitech Series 9 mouse,
- model PS/2-SERIAL. I got my hands on a Microsoft mouse adapter, but the
- sex of the connectors was wrong, and the wiring of the pins didn't make
- sense anyway. I know that Logitech will sell me an adaptor, but I'd just as
- soon hack off the PS/2 plug and put a 9 pin connector on there. Does any
- kind soul out there have one of these adapters, and would they be willing
- to find out the pin-out (or whatever you call it) with an ohm meter and
- tell me what it is?
-
- Thanks for the bandwidth.
