You can also use it to connect a parallel Zip drive. • Connect the parallel printer cable or other parallel cable to the parallel port of the computer or the port replicator. If you connect a Zip drive to the parallel port, you can enhance its performance by installing the accelerator software supplied with your Zip drive. To connect an external keyboard or PS/2 mouse The 6-pin PS/2 port allows you to attach an external keyboard or a PS/2-compatible mouse to the computer. While an external PS/2 mouse is connected, the touch pad is normally disabled. The computer provides one PS/2 port; the optional port replicator provides two PS/2 ports. • Plug the mouse or keyboard PS/2 cable into the PS/2 port on the computer, or plug either or both PS/2 cables into the PS/2 ports on the port replicator. • To connect both a mouse and keyboard to the computer, use the PS/2 Y adapter, which is available separately.
