- * * * * * * UPDATED FEATURES FOR AMOUSE VERSION 7.0 * * * * * *
-
- The following mouse parameters have been added to Amouse driver
-
- A. Communication Port
- ------------------
- 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 | 3F8h | IRQ 4
- 2 | COM 2 | 2F8h | IRQ 3
- 3 | COM 3 | 3E8h | IRQ 4
- 4 | COM 4 | 2E8h | IRQ 3
- -------+----------+------------------+----------
-
- The Serial Mouse can be set to any one of the four
- communication ports, ( COM1 to COM4 ). The command format is
-
- A:>AMOUSE /n ( Where n = 1 to 4 ).
-
- For example, if you install the mouse at COM1 ( default sett-
- ing ), enter the following:
- A:>AMOUSE /1 or A:>AMOUSE
-
- If you want to install the mouse at COM4 enter the following:
- A:>AMOUSE/4
-
-
- B. Resolution
- ----------
- 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 Mouse's resolution can be increased up to 2000 dots
- per inch. You may choose the desired resolution according to
- the requirements of your applications.
-
- This option is not case sensitive : any combination of upper-
- case and lowercase letter is acceptable.
-
- To select the resolution, type the command:
-
-
- A:>AMOUSE /Rn ( Where n = 0 to 9, 0 set the auto hardware
- resolution.)
-
- For example, if you set the resolution on the double times,
- enter the followings : AMOUSE /R2
-
-
- C. Hand Mode
- ---------
- Amouse driver provides two opertion modes for users.One is for
- right-handed users,the other for left-handed users.
-
- If you are a right-handed user,type following
- A:>AMOUSE/R,AMOUSE/r or AMOUSE (the driver default setting is
- right-handed mode)
-
- If you are a left-handed user,please type following
- A:>AMOUSE/L or AMOUSE/l
-
-
- D. Multiple parameters
- -------------------
- It is also possible to select the resolution,the communication
- port and hand mode at the same time. The sequence of selecting
- the multiple parameter is:
- 1). Resolution ( /Rn)
- 2). Communication port ( /n )
- 3). Hand Mode
-
- The parameters list above have no certain combination.
- If you type
- A:>AMOUSE /l/2/r3
- it the same as
- A:>AMOUSE /r3/l/2
-
- NOTE:The driver provides default setting that the parameter
- list above you have not selected.
-
- Ex: A:>AMOUSE /r3/3
- The I/O address is 3E8 (Hex) and IRQ4 is assigned. The
- movement of cursor is 3 times faster than the movement of
- mouse,and the driver supports right-handed mode.
-
- Ex: A:>AMOUSE /2/l/R2
- This command connects your mouse to the standard communicat-
- ion port COM2.The driver supports left-haanded mode and the
- movement of cursor becomes 2 times faster than the movement
- of mouse.
-
- Ex: A:>AMOUSE /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 hardware resolution is being
- used,
-
- E. PS/2 mode
- ---------
- This option tell the mouse driver to install the mouse on a
- mouse port. Because the first priority of the mouse driver
- installation is the mouse port, the serial ports are choosed
- when a mouse port is unavailable. This option overrides the
- mouse driver on the mouse port.
-
- If you use a PS/2 mouse on PS/2 machine,type following
- A:>AMOUSE
-
-
- F. BUS mode
- --------
- The Amouse driver also supports BUS mouse,if your BUS mouse
- connnects to a BUS card,then type
- A:>AMOUSE/B or AMOUSE/b
-
-
- G. Release Driver ( OFF or off )
- -----------------
- This option removes the mouse driver from memory.
-
- Ex : C>AMOUSE OFF
-
- F. Help ( /H, /h or /? )
- ---------------------
- This option displays all of the options and the command list.
- This option is not case sensitive : any combination of upper-
- case and lowercase letter is acceptable.
