This is a GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS situation. The conflict I found with the external mouse was resolved (good news). It was resolved by using an IBM logo'd mouse (bad news). Some (many?) otherwise totally standard PS/2 mice will probably work inconsistently with the ThinkPad (at least the 755CD). If you are lucky, you may get one that works. I got lucky by using an IBM logo'd one. Thanks... Mike Redmond ================ At 05:14 PM 3/20/96 -0600, Michael Redmond wrote: |I am trying to use my Thinkpad 755CD as a desktop replacement.
