I found a Xerox 6085 that had a Companion 386 attached. I want to use the
386 machine as a standalone PC. I found a VGA card and an ethernet card and
successfully loaded Windows 3.1. SInce I saw a PS/2 style keyboard connector
on the back I scrounged a PS/2 keyboard and it works great. 

One problem... The mouse. There is a PS/2 style mouse port on the back of the
system. I tried a IBM mouse which fit but doesn't seem to work. I tried all
the mouse options in the Windows setup utility and none seemed to wake up the
mouse. When the system was hooked to the 6085, the mouse was plugged into the
keyboard. I was wondering if there were a hardware jumper on the motherboard
or something that I had to set.  Any ideas are welcome.
