Serial Mouse Adaptor?
« on: June 10, 2005, 07:33:05 PM »
My original Amiga mouse is dead. An adaptor that supports the mouse wheel is about $50.00 freaking bucks where ever I go!

I've heard you can plug a mouse into the serial port somehow...

...how is this done, and how good is it?

So I just plug in the mouse with a 9 to 25 pin adaptor, use the drivers off aminet, and I'm set to go?

SerialMouse D seems to be the only one that works, the NewMouse driver didn't work, which sux because it supports the scroll wheel. :/

EDIT.

But after a few minutes, the mouse for no reason, ceases to respond. :/
 I reboot, it works again, then after a while...


...nothing.

EDIT: Aghh, the driver I was using was shareware, solemouse.lha seems much better!

For Solemouse to run from your startup-sequence, it wants you to do this:

 Enter SoleMouse to execute from CLI.
 From Startup-Sequence use this line:

 Run <>nil: SoleMouse

 Ok, I can run it from CLI, but that other line does nothing for me, after I boot up, nothing happens. Any ideas?
