I started with a Digital mouse with a PS/2 like connector which isn't of
course PS/2 *or* bus mouse compatible. So I then got hold of a full length
Digital DEPCA AA network card with mouse port. Unfortunately, it won't boot
in my machine (a standard problem with DEC cards apart from the Turbo 3 in
my machines).

So - is there such a thing as a DIGITAL network card with mouse port like
the Turbo 3 or is there a Digital Mouse card which my mouse will work with?

(And work under Windows 3.11...and DOS 6.22 . .. just playing safe!).

If I remember correctly, that goes back to the war between IBM and Microsof=
t =

over their two bus mouse styles. IBM won, but there are still are still alo=

the Microsoft InPort mice around. What machine do you have? Why won't it bo=
ot? =

What NOS are you running? =


The only card DEC made with a mouse port was the DEPCA-AA long board.

Let me know more; I have piles of old DEPCA cards and Msoft Inport cards.
