* * * * * * * UPDATED FEATURES FOR MOUSE DRIVER * * * * * * *
Command format:
MOUSE [[/Dynamic Resolution] [/Mouse Port]] | /? | /H | OFF
Dynamic Resolution : [ D | T | Q | U | V | Rn ]
Mouse Port : [ P | B | B3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Np,i]
The following mouse parameters have been added to Mouse driver
A. Dynamic Resolution ( /m, /Rn )
-------------------------
With this parameter, an exciting new concept in Mouse control
has been developed. A precise location on the screen can be
selected with greater ease and speed.
Movement of the cursor across the screen is based on the tra-
vel count and speed of the movement of the mouse. It is not
only measured in terms of physical distance traveled by the
mouse, but also checking how quick the mouse is moved by your
hand. The faster the movement of the mouse, the further the
cursor movement on the screen. Therefore, less hand movement
is involved.
You may choose the desired resolution according to the
requirements of your applications.
To select the resolution, type the command:
A >MOUSE /m ( Where m = D, T, U, Q and V,
D : 2 times
T : 3 times
Q : 4 times
U : 5 times
V : 10 times.
If omitted, the dynamic resolution is off.)
A >MOUSE /Rn ( Where n = 0 to 9, 0 reset the dynamic
resolution.)
For example, if you set the resolution on the double times,
enter the followings : MOUSE /R2 or MOUSE /D
B. PS/2 mode ( /P )
------------------
This option tell the mouse driver to install the mouse on a
mouse port. Which is compatible with IBM PS/2 pointing device
only.
C. Bus Mouse mode ( /B, /B3 )
--------------------------
These two options is to tell the mouse driver to run the Bus
mouse. /B is define for microsoft bus mouse with two buttons
and /B3 is for 3 buttons'.
D. Communication Port ( n )
------------------------
There are four general purpose communication ports generally
used on your personal computer. The relative address and IRQ
no. are listed in the table below:
-------+----------+------------------+----------
n | COM no. | Address in HEX. | IRQ no.
-------+----------+------------------+----------
1 | COM 1 | 3F8 | IRQ 4
2 | COM 2 | 2F8 | IRQ 3
3 | COM 3 | 3E8 | IRQ 4
4 | COM 4 | 2E8 | IRQ 3
-------+----------+------------------+----------
The Serial Mouse can be set to any one of the four
communication ports, ( COM1 to COM4 ). The command format is
A >MOUSE /n ( Where n = 1 to 4 ).
For example, if you install the mouse at COM1 ( default sett-
ing ), enter the following: A >MOUSE /1 or A >MOUSE
If you want to install the mouse at COM4 enter the following:
A >MOUSE /4
E. I/O Port Address & IRQ no. ( /Np,i )
-----------------------------------
This new feature is provided for the professional user when
their I/O port for the Serial Mouse is different from
the default settings as described in the table above. They
may follow the steps listed below to select hardware interr-
upt ( IRQ no. , range from 3 to 15) and the I/O port address
install the mouse driver. (I/O port address ranges from 200
to 3F8) This option is not case sensitive : any combination
of uppercase and lowercase letter is acceptable.
1). To select I/O port address and IRQ no., enter:
A >MOUSE /N3E0,3 ( Setup driver, select 3E0 (Hex) port
address and IRQ no. 3)
!!! WARNING !!! If the wrong setting is used or not set
it cause the mouse driver fails to be
installed.
F. Multiple parameter
------------------
It is also possible to select the resolution and the commun-
ication port at the same time. The sequence of selecting the
multiple parameter is:
1). Resolution ( /m or /Rn)
2). Communication port ( /n or /a,i )
Ex: A >MOUSE /d/N3E8,4
This case provides faster movement of the cursor on the
screen and the mouse port address is 3E8 (Hex) in which IRQ4
is assigned.
Ex: A >MOUSE /r3/N279,4
The I/O address is 279 (Hex) and IRQ4 is assigned. The
movement of cursor is 3 times faster than the movement of
mouse.
Ex: A >MOUSE /2/R2
This command connects your mouse to the standard communicat-
ion port COM2 and the movement of the cursor become 2 times
faster than the movement of mouse.
Ex: A >MOUSE /4
This command connects your mouse to the standard communicat-
ion port COM4 ( The address and IRQ no. are found in table
of section B ) where default dynamic resolution is being
used.
G. Default option :
----------------
Ex : C >MOUSE
The default dynamic resolution in this driver is under "OFF".
Condition ( /R0 ) :
The priority of the default mouse is as follows :
1). PS/2 mode
2). Bus mouse ( with microsoft compatible )
3). Serial mode at com1
The driver will search each mode base on this priority
H. uninstall ( OFF )
-------------------------
This option removes the mouse driver from memory.
Ex : C>MOUSE OFF
I. Install batch file
---------------------------------------
The automatic installation program -- INSTALL.BAT might create
a sub-directory different from what is written on manual,
however this doesn't cause any differences on mouse operation.
We therefore advise users not to care about this.
J. Help ( /H, /h or /? )
-------------------------
This option displays all of the options and the command list.
K. Setting acceleration curves ( /An )
-------------------------
This option will setting mouse driver acceleration curves table.
Ex : C>MOUSE /A1 ; Set acceleration curves equ slow speed.
( Where n = 1, 2, 3, and 4,
1 : Slow.
2 : Moderate.
3 : Fast.
4 : Unaccelerated.
Default is Moderate.)
L. Setting language number for display message( /Ln )
-------------------------
Ex : C>MOUSE /L0 ; Set ENGLISH message display.
( Where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8,
0 : ENGLISH message display.
1 : FRENCH message display.
2 : DUTCH message display.
3 : GERMAN message display.
6 : SPANISH message display.
8 : ITALIAN message display.
Default is ENGLISH display .)
