Just bought 2 x Optical mice and noticed that power is still supplied to the ps/2 mouse
when the PC is shut down.
An Aptiva (with the same mouse) does not power up the mouse, when it is shut down.
BIOS is set to "button only", and that is the only settings I can find that mention mouse
and power in the one sentence.
Only noticed it because the mouse lights are on all the time on the Abit board but off
on the IBM Aptiva board.
Anyone know if the BX6 Rev2 is supposed to power up the ps/2 port even when PC is off?
