20to20 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 My sis gave my mother her old Hatachi notebook running W95... The "pencil-eraser" cursor mover wasn't quite what my (81yo) Moms could handle... No problem, pop in a mouse and she's good to go... Next, the little keyboard was too cramped, so I tried to hook up an ext keyb by using an adapter into the serial(?) port... I tried everything I could think of but could not get it to function... I tried the ext.keys in the mouse (P/2?) port, and it worked fine... But I couldn't get them both to work... Any help out there on this ancient PC/OS combo...?
