COM port mice are the exception now, so allowing MSys mode means that a mouse driver is loaded at a place where no mouse exists (and no mouse will be connected to the COM port later either) which is much worse than reporting a wheel or a 3rd button in a situation where hotplugging has allowed the user to change the mouse to a mouse which has only 2 buttons and no wheel... > EA> With /y as the default, only people with very old > EA> Genius mice will have to read the docs to find the name > EA> of the new non-/y switch ;-). > ...which they anyway can't use, if driver called from programs > like Partition Magic. I will send each user of a mouse which cannot do better than MSys protocol a copy of an old ctmouse version myself :-p. Even Alain thinks that he is the only remaining owner of such a mouse at all. > EA> Any suggestions for a letter to name it? > May be /m?
