IRQ and PS/2



Hi everybody,

I have run out of IRQs..... 
Well, actually I have one left (IRQ12), but it is reserved for PS/2 bus.
I do not have a manual for my motherboard, so I do not know how to disable
the ps/2 bus. I have a regular serial mouse and AT-type (5-pin) keyboard. 
The motherboard also has something called PS/2 mouse header pins. So I
thought, since I can not disable the ps/2 bus (no manual) I could connect
somehow a PS-mouse to the computer and free an IRQ from a serial port. 

Could some one suggest how to connect the mouse to these pins, if it is
possilble. Where can I get the correct adapter?

Thank you,

ZORO
