- * * * * * * UPDATED FEATURES FOR GENIUS DRIVER V8.20 * * * * * *
-
- The following mouse parameters have been added to GMOUSE driver
-
- A. Dynamic Resolution ( *m )
- -------------------------
- 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.
-
- The DYNA Mouse's resolution can be increased up to 800 dots
- per inch. You may choose the desired resolution according to
- the requirements of your applications.
-
- To select the resolution, type the command:
-
- A >GMOUSE *m ( Where m = 1 to 4, if omitted, default is 2 )
-
-
- B. Reduce Resolution ( /d )
- ------------------------
- The resolution of the Dyna Mouse can also be reduced if you
- require a lower resolution than the one that is currently be-
- ing used.
- To reduce the resolution, enter the following command:
-
- A >GMOUSE /d ( Where d = 2 to 4, the number entered will
- divide the current number by this amount ).
-
-
- C. 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 Genius Serial Mouse can be set to any one of the four co-
- mmunication ports, ( COM1 to COM4 ). The command format is
-
- A >GMOUSE n ( Where n = 1 to 4 ).
-
- For example, if you install the mouse at COM1 ( default sett-
- ing ), enter the following: A >GMOUSE 1 or A >GMOUSE
-
- If you want to install the mouse at COM4 enter the following:
- A >GMOUSE 4
-
-
- D. I/O Port Address & IRQ no. ( -a,i )
- -----------------------------------
- This new feature is provided for the experienced user When
- their I/O port for the Genius 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 2 to 5, If omitted, preset is 5 )
- and the I/O port address to install the mouse driver.
-
-
- 1). To select I/O port address and IRQ no., enter:
- A >GMOUSE -3E0,2 ( Setup driver, select 3E0 (Hex) port
- address and IRQ no. 2)
-
- 2). To select I/O port address and preset IRQ no.5, enter:
- A >GMOUSE -260 ( Setup driver, select 260 (Hex) port
- address and preset IRQ no. 5)
-
- !!! WARNING !!! If the wrong setting is used or not set
- properly, it may cause system error !
-
-
- E. Multiple parametre
- ------------------
- 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 /d )
- 2). Communication port ( n or -a,i )
-
- Where m is from 1 to 4, /d is from 2 to 4, n is from 1 to 4,
- -a is the port address, and i is the IRQ no.
-
- Ex: A >GMOUSE *4-3E8,4
- 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 >GMOUSE *3-279
- The I/O address is 279 (Hex) and this command uses the
- default IRQ no. 5.
-
- Ex: A >GMOUSE /22
- This command connects your mouse to the standard communicat-
- ion port COM2 and the movement of the cursor become slower (
- movement divided by 2 )
-
- Ex: A >GMOUSE 4
- This command connects your mouse to the standard communicat-
- ion port COM4 ( The address and IRQ no. are found in table
- of section C ) where default *2 dynamic resolution is being
- used.
-
-
-
- F. How to use GMOUSE.SYS file
- --------------------------
-
- The Genius Mouse driver comes with two different file formats
- ,one in the command format named GMOUSE.COM, the other in DOS
- system format named GMOUSE.SYS. These two file functions are
- exactly the same.
-
- The only difference is that GMOUSE.COM exactly can be executed
- at the DOS prompt and GMOUSE.SYS has to be placed in the sys-
- tem's CONFIG.SYS file. Which one to be used depends on your p-
- reference.
-
- To use the GMOUSE.SYS file, insert
-
- "DEVICE = GMOUSE.SYS *1-3E8,2" in the CONFIG.SYS file.
-
-
- Note: The GMOUSE.SYS and CONFIG.SYS files must be at the
- root directory of the disk which is used to start DOS.
- The other parameters were added to choose the GMOUSE
- driver's resolution and communication port which were
- described in the above section.
-
-
- G. The Genius Driver V8.20 provides a bus mouse interface which
- is suitable for the Microsoft Bus Mouse, Microsoft InPort
- Mouse, Genius Bus Mouse Series: GM-7, GM-7A, GM-7D and Genius
- Bus Mouse Interface Card Model: GM-B1.
