Can anyone out there tell me of a book which gives a specification of the information transmitted by IBM-PC compatible serial mice? If the specification is straightforward, please would you mail it to me? Is there a standard baud rate? As far as I can tell, a serial mouse transmits packets of a few characters a few times a second. I'm told that there are two mouse standards: the PC mouse standard, and the MicroSoft standard. Are these standards for the transmitted packets, or are they for a higher level? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John A. Murdie +44 904 432752 Dept. of Comp.
