PS port

[dumarest]

System - PC standard, but older mother board, dual mouse.
The mouse is on serial port COM1.
I have been told, I have heard, it has been indicated to me, and any other circumlocutions, that, lacking a PS port, one can get an ISA or PCI card that can plug into the motherboard and give me a PS port for my mouse [the mouse can use such a port]. But I can find no such beast.
Why do I want to do this?? to free serial 1 so that I can download from my nice new digital camera, an HP which will download ONLY on COM1.

Dual mouse? Not sure what you mean by that, you have two mice on your system? If so, maybe using a mouse splitter/combiner box will help.
I haven't seen PS/2 mouse ports available as an add-in accessory. BUt you can get add-in additional COM port cards at any largish computer store.

Not two - only one. It will run on either a serial or a PS port. Reason for question - I don't want to buy a new computer just to download my digital camera pictures. The $$!!!&&^$$! HP camera will download ONLY on COM1, and essentially requires an SP mouse with COM1 free [service from HP seems to indicate that it will only work if it is the single COM port device on the system]. So a try for an SP add-in board may be my last hope. Just joking about a new computer, it would have to be a new camera.

If the system supports USB you might consider a USB mouse, which would leave COM1 open for the camera...
