| 104245 | 2002-12-08 06:53:00 | has anyone heard of the PS/2 ports on a mobo failing to work? On a mates PC the keyboard and mouse aren't responding but still seem to be provided with power. I was thinking is it possiable to disable these ports in windows or bios? I always thought is was possiable with COM ports, thus thinking it might be possiable with PS/2's. Does anyone have any ideas? or similar experiences? The mouse is USB so thats not a prob but the keyboard is PS/2, is it possiable to get a PS/2 - USB adapter? thanx in advance |
