| 53465 | 2002-06-09 12:01:00 | I have a Gigabyte GA-5AA motherboard with K62/350. It has a keyboard socket, but no PS2 port for the mouse. I need to purchase a cable to plug it into the motherboard (www.gigabyte.com.tw). Where can I get this from? I would normally goto the DSE site, but I think this is too technical for them. Thanks, Bill |

| 53467 | 2002-06-09 12:25:00 | As a last resort yes, but if you have a look at the motherboard, it has PS2 support on the board through an eight pin socket. I'll use the com if I have to, but as the board is so small, I want to use as many of its inbuild features as poss. Bill |

They would normally be supplied with a newmotherboard. Cheers. |
