I have a Dell 386 which came with a mouse. Although this will be a Xenix machine, I find that I have a free serial port. The mouse is a Logitech (not a clone, even) and is on a serial port. Does someone have any info as to how I read the port?? I assume that if I know what baudrate to set, parity, bits, etc, that it will send a character sequence for up, down, left, right, and button up/down as they happen. If it's that simeple can you tell me what it wants, or point me to a source of the info? I can think of some interesting uses for the mouse, not traditional, but interesting. post if you wish, mail if you don't. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
