A4000T Mouse issues
« on: July 13, 2012, 07:30:40 PM »
Finally found some spare time to pull her out and install my brand new Mediator and Indivision II and seem to be adding problems on top of problems. :(

Not having a floppy drive is annoying, but I can get around that once I get the NIC up and running.  But now my mouse is acting all kinds of weird!

On first boot up, it would only go left and right, not up and down.  Second boot  only up and down.  Third (or forth, can't remember) it wouldn't move at all, just slightly wiggle back and forth only to end up at it's original location.:nervous:

I tried it again this morning before work and it is back to up/down.

What Computer God do I need to sacrifice a goat to so I can have my miggy running right?

I've written this fairly generic article on fault finding the A4000 mouse port.

Also bashed the subject to death in this recent thread, which might help.

This wouldn't be helping your hardware problem in any way, but you could use this to get along in the meantime:

That little proggy will enable you to use your mouse from the joystick port instead, and the joystick from the mouse port. It literally swaps the port functions around. I don't know, maybe it would come in hand for testing as well.
