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? > > A lot of motherboards leave the PS/2 sockets powered when switched off. This is to enable kbd or mouse power-up function. Some mobos have a pair of jumpers just behind the sockets to disable this.
