Mroocheck; a piece of junk or just fussy?
« on: March 15, 2005, 09:13:59 PM »
Hi Peeps, I have a Mroocheck mouse adapter and I was wondering if somebody would be so kind as to confirm the following.

1. I'm right in thinking it goes in the Amigas usual mouse port aren't I?

2. No software is needed for normal opperation, drivers etc only needed for further button support ans wheel scrooling?

3. Is it fussy over mice?

The problem is I haven't been able to get the dam thing to work at all. I've tried it with an old logitech ps2 mouse, an el cheapo ps2 3 button mouse and a tsunami optical wheel mouse and none of them have worked at all. I expect the optical one will not work as it will not have the required voltages etc that it needs, am I correct?

This is annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first mouse I used was a mouse that came originally with a ps2 connector and had one of those ps2->serial adapters with it.

Does anybody know which mice autodetect wether or not they are serial/ps2?

I've used ps2 mice with ps2->serial adapters loads of times with pcs, so how is it different with this? if the mouse finally has a serial connector and it works on a serail port on the pc why does it not work on the mroocheck?

Anyone know a mouse model that I can use with the mroocheck that has a ps2 connector?

yeah I read them, I think I'm going to round up a few different mice before I leave work tomorrow and bring them home to see if I can find a compatible one. Thats if I can find any, most not being used are absoloute {bleep}, except the ones on my desk.

I was just thinking, even if I do get this working with a combo mouse whats the chance of the combo mouse working through a kvm?
