I own an ALR FlexCache 20386DT with one serial and one parallel port. I recently acquired a Logitech Series 9 serial mouse (3-button) and have been having problems with it. Namely, the mouse driver does not always load when I try to load it, and I have to fiddle around rebooting and eventually even re-installing the mouse when I want to use it. This is a time-consuming process, and not one I enjoy repeating often. Has anyone had similar problem? If not, do you know where I can turn for help? (I don't have the money to make long-distance calls at daytime rates...) Thanks in advance! Betsey ******************************************************************************* Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.

I recently acquired a Logitech Series 9 serial mouse >(3-button) and have been having problems with it. I am using the Logitech Series 9 serial mouse with an ALR 20386DT. Under DOS, I have no problems! I load the driver with the following command: \mouse 2 bon 9600 There is a known problem when going from DOS to either OS/2 or Unix. For some reason the DOS driver leaves the serial chip in such a state that Unix and OS/2 will not recognize the serial port at all. Thus when I switch from DOS to one of these others OS'es, I always power off my system. I then have no further problems. There is no known problem going the other way. -- Robert J.
