Re: [ql-users] Mouse on the Q40
In message <000f01c28ae6$27552d80$64e17ad5@famwaugh>, Bill Waugh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes try the old type (not PS2) Phoebus, it worked with a three button mouse just fine ( never used the middle button though ). I think it uses sermouse incorporated in SMSQE ( I could be wrong here ) You do not have to load any software it is all built into SMSQ/E which looks at the highest port first and then the next in line until it finds (or not) a mouse. It then loads the software. I have a mouse that works I can send it to you if you want. -- Roy Wood Q Branch, 20 Locks Hill Portslade. Sussex. BN41 2LB.

Alternatively, you could link to another computer and open terminal programs each end, and type. The loopback is the best as it tests handshake as well. -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:252/67) +44(0)1442-828255 tony@.co.uk http://www.firshman.co.uk Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG

I've had some trouble once with a mouse like that, a normal serial one then worked fine. > However I really am afraid that the I/O just gave away, as > the mouse works as a serial one everywhere (QL included).

However I really am afraid that the I/O just gave away, as the mouse works as a serial one everywhere (QL included). For fun I tested it with SerMouse on the QXL (without DOS mouse driver) and it worked I just hope it's not the I/O card as it is a slim one and nothing else will fit in my BookPC case :-( Phoebus
