MY WINDOWS DOES NOT FIND MY MOUSE!
OK, I know running Windows software doesn't make much
sense if one has 12KHz AT with 1meg of RAM... However,
I do need to run some programs every now and then.
I used to have my serial mouse in com-port 1, but it had
to be moved to com-port 3 as I added some new devices
which _need_ to be in ports 1 and 2 ( they don't "know"
any other ).
Then I re-install Windows, both from the very beginning
and with saved configuration - but no mice anywhere! Back
to ms-dos, and the mouse is present and ready to go.
My com-ports are:
COM 1 address 3F8, irq 4 an extra printer, has to be in
com 1 or 2
COM 2 2F8 irq 3 modem, must be in com 1 or 2
COM 3 3E8 irq 4 mouse
COM 4 2E8 irq 3 ham radio packet modem
Printer and modem are so oldfashioned they must be in ports
1 and 2, but howcome Windows cannot find mice in 3 or 4?
Any suggestions what to do to modify windows.ini and system.ini,
or whatever is needed.
thanks in advance,
Mika OH1NZQ
