SUMMARY
According to AST, to use a serial or PS/2 mouse on an AST Premium Exec 386/25 Color Notebook computer, you must enter the correct settings for the mouse in the AST system setup Mouse Connect= line. By default, the Mouse Connect= line is blank.



MORE INFORMATION
AST specifies two ways to make changes to the AST system setup: the first method uses the AST Utility disk, the second method does not.

To make changes to the AST system setup with the AST Utility disk, do the following:
 * 1) Place the AST Utility disk in drive A and type setup.
 * 2) Move to the Mouse Connect= line.
 * 3) Select &quot;Keypad&quot; for PS/2 mouse or &quot;SerialPort&quot; for serial mouse.
 * 4) Press F3 to exit, and choose Yes to save changes.
 * 5) Reboot the computer.

To make changes to the AST system setup without the AST Utility disk, do the following:
 * 1) Turn the computer off.
 * 2) Turn the computer back on, and press and hold the CTRL+ALT keys while pressing the P key repeatedly until the message &quot;To Access Setup, Press CTRL+ALT+ESC.&quot; is displayed.
 * 3) Press CTRL+ALT+ESC to enter the AST setup program.
 * 4) Continue with steps 2-5 listed in the first procedure above.
