- The problem here is that the MENU/CLICK software needs to be able to see the
- COM port to which your mouse is attached (no idea if this holds true for the
- BUS version). And the problem is that OS/2 conceals the mouse COM port from
- any other software - i.e. the COM port is invisible; OS/2 simply provides a
- mouse SERVICE. And when you try to run a Logitech mouse driver in DOS, it
- recognizes that there's a different mouse driver hogging the show, and refuses
- to run. So, unless Logitech releases new OS/2 DOS drivers/software, it ain't
- going to work. And I've seen many messages suggesting Logitech have less than
- no interest in OS/2.
