A PS/2-compatible mouse works identically to an indus-
try-standard serial mouse or bus mouse except that it has
its own dedicated connector, which frees up both serial
ports and does not require an expansion card. Circuitry
inside the mouse detects the movement of a small ball
and relays the direction to the computer.
Mouse driver software can give the mouse priority with
the microprocessor by issuing IRQ12 whenever a new
mouse movement is detected. The driver software also
passes along the mouse data to the application program
that is in control.

If you reconfigure your hardware, you may need pin
number and signal information for the keyboard connec-
tor. Figure B-4 illustrates the pin numbers for the
keyboard connector, and Table B-3 lists and defines the
pin assignments and interface signals for the keyboard
connector.
