Anyone know where I can obtain a PS/2 ISA mouse port card? The PS/2 header
on my AT board is shot and rather than tracing down broken traces and bad
resisters, etc. I'd rather just replace the damned thing with something
that works. Once that is done, my one classic Linux box is done (P200MMX,
48MB SIMMS, 8GB Hard Drive). It's holding me back and annoying me because I
had wanted to toy around with the new KDE. The other machine is newer (not
so classic), but still kinda old. A Crappaq Presario that someone was nice
enough to take the model panel off of the front and remove the serial
sticker from the back. It's a PII-400Mhz with 96MB SDRAM, built-in DEC
Tulip 10MBit NIC, ESS AudioDrive and ATi Rage LT Pro AGP on a 440BX
proprietary board. I have a 2GB Maxtor IDE and a 4GB half-height Seagate
SCSI in it with an 8x Compaq SCSI CD-ROM. The thing that's driving me nuts
is getting the whole thing to work with Slack or Gentoo. Neither want to
load right for some reason (boot partition is not there?). It's trying to
boot off the Adaptec AHA-1542B card I had commented about. I'm thinking of
going IDE CD-ROM in it just to get the friggin thing loaded on the IDE
drive and then just tooling with it to get the SCSI later. Any thoughts?

PS: Don't I owe someone on here five bucks for one of these cards? Whomever
it is, contact me off list and I'll arrange to pay immediately with some
sort of interest.
