As for the ps/2 side of things, no, I didn't use any adaptor. The remote mouse was either a cheap or free mouse that CompUSA or whatever store was giving away. If it came with an adaptor, it's long lost! At any rate, in the "Microsoft" mode, the 1st and 3rd buttons (only) worked. Because I didn't use the keyboard/mouse/CRT that much, I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it's a different story. gary -- Gary D.
