PS/2->USB on R52

[Rletson]

Sounds like code, don't it?

I'd like to use our Logitech 3-button mice with our new-used R52, but lacking a docking station (planned but not yet acquired), that means finding a PS/2-to-USB adapter that will pass all the signals. So far the Belkin hasn't worked, and a look at various Amazon reviews suggests that it's hard to predict which adapter will work with a given laptop/mouse/keyboard combination. Any experience with specifics here?

The main problem is getting XP on the laptop to detect that it's a MouseMan and that it has a middle button and not a scroll wheel. Same problem with our Vista trackball and a Microsoft Mouse with a scroll wheel--no middle-button function. The USB-based Logitech Traveler is recognized fine, but I'd like to use our comfy old devices.

Have you tried Logitech's own software? I know I really hate to add bloatware that really doesn't add much to what's there, but that might help if you haven't tried it already. I broke down and added the Logitech Setpoint utility last night now that I've moved to a Logitech KB as well as mouse.

On another note, I've got several of the basic port replicators taking up space in a box if you want one. Just pay shipping and it's yours. PM me if interested.

I don't think it's software--I've always used the Logitech drivers and configuration apps. I'll try SetPoint, but I'm suspecting some sort of hardware-connection issue, since there are reports of different brands of adapter behaving differently.
