Re: problem with USB mouse on A4000T

I bought a DB9 to USB mouse converter for the Amiga.

I tried it with my Logitech trackball (USB) from my pc and it worked great.

But now i bought a cheap logitech mouse and it refuses to work. The mouse is good as i tested it on my PC and it works fine, but on the Amiga all i get is the red laser like light at the bottom of the mouse flashing on and off but no function whatsoever from the mouse.

Any ideas?


The problem most likely is that your USB mouse converter isn't really a USB mouse converter. It's a PS/2 mouse converter that has a USB port instead of a PS/2 port so you don't have to use one of those green PS/2 - USB converters. Problem is that not all USB mice work in PS/2 mode, and if they don't, they won't work with your converter.
