[net.micro.att] PC6300/6300+ and AT&T mouse

kim@emory.UUCP (Kim Wallen {Psychology}) (03/05/86)

We are running MS-WORD on ATT PC6300/6300+ and would like to add mice.
Does the ATT mouse which attaches to the keyboard port provide full
compatibility with the MS mouse?  Does anyone have experience with the
ATT mouse to compare it with the MS mouse?

Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently using a Xerox 6064 with the Xerox mouse.  The Xerox 6064 is   
identical to the ATT6300 in every, except that it has XEROX tatooed on it.
The mouse works the same as the MS mouse in every way that I have found.
I have used it regularly with Reflex, which I strongly recommend to anyone
who needs a good dbase program.  I have found one problem so far, and that
is with Ready.  The version of Ready that I have fails to recognize the Xerox
Mouse Driver.   I have tried to get in touch with the programmers of Ready,
yes I mean programmers--not user help, but they are never around when I call
