Has anyone had any luck using the mouse with their bridgeboard? I have the amouse command running on both the Amiga and bridgeboard sides and I have a couple of programs that use the mouse but I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have any advice or any tips? I must be doing something wrong and any help would be greatly appreciated.

That takes care of such programs as Microsoft's that looks for that string in the driver program, just so you'll have to buy their mouse. Also be sure to have Janus v2.0, probably available at your dealer. Peter Hjalmarsson Amiga Support Commodore Sweden ...uunet!cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmswe!hjalmar

It defaults to using the OTHER mouse port (I never remember whether it's left or right) until you hit an AMIGA-key combination. Then it works. I think it's intended so that you can have TWO mice, one for the Amiga and one for the IBM. If you use the left (?) port for the AMOUSE, remember to give the mouse back to the Amiga before switching screens. .../greg

You can use LAmiga-P any time on any screen. -- Dan Griffin griffin@frith.egr.msu.edu
