I am borrowing an old (vintage 1986) Microsoft bus mouse. My friend no longer has the documentation. My system has currently uses COM1 and COM2 as active serial ports. Does anyone know of flags or patches to mouse.sys or mouse.com which will direct the mouse card to another buffer address? Thanks for your help. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- " Bruce Cohen | UUCP: ..ucbvax!ucsfcgl!bic " Computer Graphics Lab | ARPA: bic@cgl.ucsf.edu " S-926 | BITNET: bic@ucsfcgl " University of California | VOICE: (415) 476-8291 " San Francisco, CA 94143-0446 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The following switches tell MOUSE.COM to look for the mouse at different places... /I1 primary InPort /I2 secondary InPort /C1 com1 /C2 com2 From the manual, there appears to be no support for com3 or com4. On a *bus* mouse, you can set the interrupt for 2, 3, 4 or 5. Com1 uses 4. Com2 uses 3. Thus, use 2 on an XT or 5 on an AT.

Thanks to all of you who responded. I was originally misinformed regarding the operation of the bus mouse. It does not use a COM port. My problem was resolved by switching the interrupt on the interface card. from Jim Wright: %>From the manual, there appears to be no support for com3 or com4. %On a *bus* mouse, you can set the interrupt for 2, 3, 4 or 5. %Com1 uses 4. Com2 uses 3. Thus, use 2 on an XT or 5 on an AT. Once again I see that the network is a wonderful resource. Especially when your friends have lost the documentation :). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- " Bruce Cohen | UUCP: ..ucbvax!ucsfcgl!bic " Computer Graphics Lab | ARPA: bic@cgl.ucsf.edu " S-926 | BITNET: bic@ucsfcgl " University of California | VOICE: (415) 476-8291 " San Francisco, CA 94143-0446 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
