SUMMARY
According to Club American Computers, Inc., the Microsoft Mouse does not work on the Club 386/SX computer if the COM ports have been disabled by the BIOS.



MORE INFORMATION
The AMI BIOS in the Club 386/SX machine has an &quot;Advanced Chipset&quot; setting that allows you select addresses for the COM ports, as well as enable and disable them. Even if a port is disabled, the debug script d40:0 may show the port address as enabled, as follows:   -d 40:0 0040:0000 F8 03 F8 02 00 00 00 00-78 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 To enable the port, you must go into the CMOS setup under &quot;Advanced Chipset&quot; and enable the COM port. You may also need to change the COM port addresses if they are not set correctly. If you do not know how to change a COM port address, you should contact Club American Computer, or the store where you purchased the computer.

The Club American product included here is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
