Asus P5A-B Not Recognizing PS/2 Mouse

[Gorrillasnot]

I recently pulled out an old Asus P5A-B baby AT board I had in my closet and threw it in a case I had in the garage just for something to do. It originally used a serial mouse, but back in the day when it was in my main PC I bought an ATX form factor card that gave me 2 USB, 1 PS/2, and 1 IR port. Back then I had a problem getting it to recognize a mouse on the PS/2 port, but eventually got it to work, but I forgot what I did to get it to work.
I have tried a USB with PS/2 adaptor optical mouse, a regular PS/2 optical mouse, and a standard PS/2 ball mouse and none seem to work. I have tested all three mice on another PC and they work fine. In the BIOS settings I have PS/2 function control set to Auto(also tried set to enabled), IR disabled, USB enabled..Am I missing something somewhere?
I can hook the USB optical mouse with out the PS/2 adapter to the USB port on the form card and it works fine.

any ideas how I can get the PS/2 port to work?

BTW the PC has Windows 98SE


thanks

i've used the same board with an atx form factor board and a microsoft optical mouse with a ps2 connector worked fine...im thinking maybe you connected the atx form factor card connector in there wrong.
