I swear this Pismo is possessed. I now have a mouse which only works in OS 9, and then only after OS 9 has got half way through the boot sequence. Early in the boot process only the trackpad causes the cursor to move. It's only after the icons appear (presumably some bus initialisation or driver loading) that the mouse becomes responsive. Tomorrow I'll test it on my tower to see if it'll work in OS X there.
In OS X nothing happens: the mouse is recognised as a USB device but the computer doesn't know what to do with it (the light of the LED lights up in the mouse). This is what the Apple System Profiler says. USB Bus 1: USB Device: +-------------------------------------------+ | Product ID : 0 ($0) | | Vendor ID : 1578 | | Device Speed : Low | | Power (mA) : 500 | +-------------------------------------------+ It's an USB Logitech Wheel Mouse (el cheapo) optical mouse. I love the form factor but why doesn't OS X recognise it as a mouse? (I'm not sure how those two phrases go together but...) Is this even possible? Is my computer bust (do I have to send it in for service)? Is OS X broken in a way that I can fix it? Is the mouse plain simply incompatible with OS X (it's a MOUSE. How complicated can a mouse be?)? My Microsoft Intellipoint works seamlessly with OS X on this computer -- no software required. Any thoughts? Thanks, Eric. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
