Ah! Those adapters are notoriously flaky and fail to work more often than not. I wouldn't necessarily expect even a manufacturer-supplied one to work. If you have a PS/2 mouse, it's best to connect it to the mini-DIN PS/2 port; if you don't have such a port, best to use a straightforward serial mouse. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
