[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Problem with IIfx and the "Little mouse"

sw@nan.co.uk (Sak Wathanasin) (06/04/91)

Has anyone successfully used a "Little mouse" with the IIfx? This is an
optical mouse made by MSC Technologies of Fremont, CA. The problem is that
as soon as I hit any key on the keyboard, the mouse freezes. 

For the record, the problem occurs on a IIfx with extended keyboard II, running
6.0.7,  with no INITs except for Desktop Mgr and the "Little Mouse" init. I've
tried reseting PRAM to no avail. Apple's mouse works fine under the same
conditions. Is there a fix (s/w or h/w) for this? I really like the feel
of the LM when it works.

Is there something special about the IIfx's ADB? I've tried the "cordless"
mouse (sorry, forgot who makes this), and it too froze on occassion, so
I sent it back.

Thanks in advance for any help or info.
