Auto Mouse/Joystick Switcher problems.

I think wheel mice need some special software for the Amiga to know how to use them. I'd expect that if you bought an adapter, they would've included the driver. Maybe AmiNet has some to download?

Does the joystick/mouse switcher work with a regular Amiga mouse? Maybe the Cocolino doesnt translate the mouse signal to EXACTLY what an Amiga mouse sends, so the switcher doesn't recognize it properly. Or I suppose it could be some electrical issue... you have 2 devices between the Amiga and the mouse, maybe thats adding too much resistance to the current? Beats me. Wait to see what the manufacturer says.

Looks like there's a few wheelmouse programs on AmiNet. I'm kind of amazed that the Cocolino wouldn't come with this kind of thing. Are you sure there's not some floppy in the box that you overlooked?

If thats the case, I kind of suspect that you can use the Cocolino or the switcher, but if you use both you'll have to just accept the problems you're having. The switcher probably is designed to only pass on signals that it thinks a mouse (or joystick) should be sending. Some of the other signals, like the wheel, are probably just being dropped. Probably you need to ask the switcher manufacturer if that's the case and encourage them to fix it in the next design revision.
