hello NG, I am somewhat puzzled by the description on the ASUS homepage
of
the above cited MoBo series, where under Back Panel Ports they say "1 x
PS/2
Keyboard", but nothing about a PS/2 mouse connector. The pictures of
the
back panels also shows only one connector. So can anyone tell me how I
can
connect the mouse?
Thanks and regards, Erich



Use a USB mouse.

Or a PS-2 > USB converter.

Many mice come with these included


I've only seen them with a USB -> PS/2 converter.

Maybe it depends on which end you are looking at it from ;-)

Often mice are labeled PS-2/USB and when you open the box there is an
adapter so the PS-2 plug on the mouse will can be connected to the USB
port - I'm just trying to let the OP know it's not an expensive exercise.
