This computer accepts either a PS/2-compatible or serial mouse or similar pointing
device.
Note: When using an external mouse, you may choose to disable the internal
touchpad by pressing Fn-F7.
External PS/2 mouse
The built-in touchpad works alternately with an external PS/2 mouse which is hot-
pluggable. To use a PS/2-compatible mouse, simply plug it into the PS/2 port.

If you use a serial mouse, plug it into the serial port.
To enable the serial mouse, use the Add New Hardware tool in the Windows
Control Panel.
