I recently bought a used Intellimouse Explorer for real cheap. It came with nothing but the mouse, no instructional booklet, software, or the little USB to PS/2 adapter. The problem is, I can't get USB on my computer working, so I need that little adapter. I've asked several computer and office supply stores, and my local electronics supply. Nobody can get me one of these adapters.

But, I can get ahold of USB ports and mini-din plugs. I could solder them together and make the adapter myself, but I don't know the pin configuration. If anybody can find this out for me, I would be very pleased.

Either that, or someone could direct me to someplace were such an adapter could be found, ready made that is.

Thanks in advance.
