I can't find my microsoft mouse documentation, so if you have yours lying around, maybe you can help me out. I have a Microsoft bus mouse which was in a PC clone. Now, I am moving it to an AT clone. I know I have to reset the jumpers (especially the interrupt setting). Can anyone tell me what the jumpers should be set to? (There are three set if I remember. One sets either Primary or Secondary inport. One set the interrupt level. and one sets something else). Any help is appreciated. thanks, alan

There are, indeed, three jumpers (j2, j3 & j4). j3 is the Primary Secondary jumper, I assume you don't have to worry about it. j2 (the one you couldnt remember) is for slot 8 in an XT. For the AT, that jumper should be on the bottom two pins. j4, then, sets the interrupt level, and the exact setting depends upon your equipment list: if you have do NOT use level AT 2 PC w/fixed disk 5 XT 5 Async Comm Adapter (1st serial port) 4 Binary Synch Comm Adapter (1st serial port) 4 or 3 Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC card) 4 or 3 Async Comm Adapter (2nd serial port) 3 IBM EGA 2 IBM Network Adapter 2 Whatever your equipment list, on an AT your safest is interrupt level 5. If your jumper is not labeled, the interrupt leves ascend as you move through the pins from left to right (leftmost = IL2, rightmost = IL5).

Only the interrupt jumper needs to be moved. Change it from 5 to 2, or from
2 to 5. I forget which is which, but whatever it is now, you change it to
the other number that I mention. Whenever I put in the MS bus mouse into
the Compaq machines at where I used to work, I always had to change the
jumper, since it was set for the XT class machine.

A second serial port would certainly eliminate the last interrupt level available for the bus mouse (BTW I took the above table directly out of the Microsoft Mouse User's Guide). As for configurations that would require both a mouse and two serial ports, try a CADD system with a serial plotter and a serial field data collector interface (ala Engineers and Land Surveyors).

Using a bus mouse set at IRQ=2 and having an EGA card may work, depends on the EGA card and whether it actually uses IRQ=2. My wife has used a bus mouse set at 2 with the Zenith EGA (made by Sigma??) for over two years without a problem. She uses the mouse intensively. Tim. -- Tim Lange. Purdue U.

I'm assuming you do not have a Network card of any kind in there; sometimes they have their own weirdnesses...if you do, then check the documentation for that card to find out what jumper it likes/doesn't like. ingrid johanna tenggren Microsoft's Real Swede {...uunet!microsof!ingridt}
