Keyboard and Mouse Connectors

The system uses a Personal System/2 (PS/2)-style key-
board and supports a PS/2-compatible mouse. Cables
from both devices attach to 6-pin, miniature Deutsche
Industrie Norm (DIN) connectors on the back panel of
your computer. The keyboard connector is on the left; the
mouse connector is on the right.
A PS/2-compatible mouse works identically to an
industry-standard serial mouse or bus mouse except that
it has its own dedicated connector, which frees up both
serial ports and does not require an expansion card. Cir-

Signal ground
cuitry inside the mouse detects the movement of a small
ball and relays the direction to the computer.
Mouse driver software can give the mouse priority with
the microprocessor by issuing IRQ12 whenever a new
mouse movement is detected. The driver software also
passes along the mouse data to the application program
that is in control.

Keyboard Connector

If you reconfigure your hardware, you may need pin num-
ber and signal information for the keyboard connector.
Figure B-4 illustrates the pin numbers for the keyboard
connector, and Table B-3 lists and defines the pin assign-
ments and interface signals for the keyboard connector.
