    Default Serial or ps2 pci card?

    I'm fixing up an old system for my neighbour,I managed to install windows xp on it but it seems that the serial port for the mouse has gone bad it has no ps2 or usb port,,, it has one available pci slot,, my question is there such thing as a serial or ps2 pci card that I can get.

    Another option is to go USB. Get a USB PCI card, USB mouse and keyboard.

    scrap watts new off the list. worse place to get computer parts and accessories. imho

    i agree with juba, if you're going to use up the last pci slot, why not get a usb card so you can install printers, scanners, along with a mouse and keyboard.
