SUMMARY
Some Leading Edge Computers (Model D3/SX) contain a built-in proprietary mouse port. To use a Microsoft serial mouse on a serial communications port, instead of using Leading Edge's mouse, you must disable the built-in mouse port.

Steps to Setup Microsoft Serial Mouse

 * 1) Disable the built-in mouse port by moving jumper 15 on the motherboard from pins 1 and 2 to 2 and 3.
 * 2) Connect the serial mouse to COM1 or COMx, where x is the COM port of your choice.
 * 3) Check to ensure Windows is configured for the appropriate mouse driver (Microsoft or IBM PS/2 for example).

NOTE: There have been no reported problems with the Microsoft Bus Mouse conflicting with the built-in mouse port.
