GA-890GPA-UD3H Motherboard Question
Can anyone tell me if this motherboard, specifically the single PS/2 port,
will support the use of a PS/2 style y-adapter or does this PS/2 port only support one component at a time? |

GA-890GPA-UD3H Motherboard Question
I can tell you from experience that a Y cable in the single PS2 port will
NOT support a keyboard and a mouse. The system will recognize only the keyboard. The problem with that board is made worse by the fact that it does not see a USB mouse in DOS, or Caldera DOS, even though USB devices are enabled in the BIOS. I needed both a keyboard and a mouse in order to use my Drive Image 2002 which clones partitions and hard drives in Caldera DOS. I tried contacting Gigabyte for answers, I told them the board did not see a USB mouse even when the BIOS was set to enable USB devices (they need a BIOS update me thinks); they replied that "...the board only has one PS2 port...". Like I didn't know that! I tried forums to find a way for the board to see a USB mouse in DOS, and none of the suggestions worked. I returned the board since it was within my 30 day return period, and picked up a GA 790XTA-UD4H, which was just fine for my 4 core Phenom II 965 Black 3.40 GHz processor anyway. It has two PS2 ports and works pretty well, although there is one issue with the video not loading in time to see the post screen. Had that fixed for a little while but the problem is back.

1. Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website. 2. Most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME/2000/XP SP1/SP2. If drivers are available from the vendors, we will update them on the GIGABYTE website. |
