You have a really old computer huh? Most newer PC's have
two 9-pin male serial ports, neither of which is used for the
mouse. The mouse usually fits in the round PS/2 port. You
need a 9-pin converter to fit the GraphLink to those. You can
buy them at Radio Shack but you'll probably have to sand off
the screws since the converter expects the device to have the
9-pin port, not the computer (so the screws are backwards).
