Windows question; maybe hardware

I am a lefty, and I want my ps/2 mouse to work on the left side of the keyboard. I'd also like to have another, older, mouse (using a COM port) to be set up on the right hand side for other people to use. I can get each to work seperately, but only one at a time; whichever one is plugged in when booting is the one that works.

I'm using win98, and may be using ME soon (since I appear to be wasting a bunch of RAM that 98 doesn't recognize and I own a copy of ME)

Is there a way to do this?

I've also checked the old mouse on another computer, and it works fine. It's a microsoft serial mouse that I got in 95 or so that's just been hanging around.

 

two mice will work on xp one on usb and one ps2 but I really have no idea if it is possible on 98 or ME. you might want to look here
