PS2 mouse on serial adapter

Hello
I have a ps2 mouse attached to a serial adapter as the
system is old and i do not have a ps2 port. I am almost
sure there was an issue with this in that some PS2 mice
are not compatible with serial adapters. Does anyone else
know of this issue. I would appreciate any help at all.
I can be replied to at

thank you all

Not all PS2 mice are compatible with the serial adapter, but if yours is
working OK you can ignore the problem.

Thankyou

I had kinda thought that. I had a mouse with adapter when
95 was on here..updated to 98se and it worked for a while.
i then bought this mouse and still not working..then tried
a new adapter...nope...i then added a true serial mouse
and it was fine. I tried it on some other systems and it
would not work...i thank you again for all your help and
your sound advice ..unfortunately the mouse was not mine
and i am now stuck with a new ps2 mouse and a serial
adapter lol...ahh such is life..

I think it's a pretty good rule that a PS2 mouse that will work with the
serial adapter will be supplied with the adapter as part of the package.

Yes, alot of ps/2 to serial port adapter won't work. I had to buy a
geninue serial mouse from hardwarecooling.com they are the only
company on the internet i know that still carries the serial mouse.
