| 398156 | 2005-10-21 15:00:00 | Heres a quick one that someone is sure to know. I'm using a borrowed laptop - an IBM Thinkpad, not more than a year or two old. First serious time with a lappy. I want to plug a mouse in, but the mouse socket at the back won't take a PS2 mouse. Besides a serial mouse, what is supposed to go in there? It has a rectangular hole at the bottom of the socket and accepts four pins. Thanks. |
