Don't....I have an even more foolish question.

I bought a mini-mouse that has a serial port plug.  At $5, it 
looked like the ideal thing to take along on trips. Thinking that 
things might be easier if I used a PS/2 adapter, I bought one of 
those, too.  Plugging into the PS/2 port doesn't seem to do a thing.  
What I need to know is, did I just forget a step like the other Sandy 
did?  Or is it impossible to use a serial port mouse + adapter on the 
Thinkpad?  If I can, what settings should I be using?  

Do I need to install the mouse drivers, or can I just depend on the
WIN95 drivers that are already there?  

Also, can I have the option to use either one, or must I have one 
always disabled?  I have the 365XD, if it matters.
