- =================================
-
- These Windows NT mouse drivers are still under development and have not
- been extensively tested. These drivers are provided to help Windows NT Beta
- testers utilize their Logitech mice under the October 1992 release of
- Windows NT.
-
- These NT mouse drivers are provided "as is". Logitech does not warrant that
- these drivers will meet users requirements, or that they will function in
- combination with other software or hardware which may be selected for use by
- users. LOGITECH MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATION ABOUT COMPATIBILITY OF
- THESE DRIVERS WITH ANY PC-COMPATIBLE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL LOGITECH BE
- LIABLE FOR LOST PROFIT, LOST DATA, LOST OR DAMAGED PROGRAMS, OR ANY
- CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THESE DRIVERS.
-
- How To Install:
- ---------------

- Logitech Windows NT mouse drivers are provided in a self-extracting .EXE
- file format. After you have downloaded LMOUSENT.EXE, proceed with the
- following steps:
-
- 1] Copy LMOUSENT.EXE to a temporary directory on the hard drive (i.e., \TEMP)
- 2] Log onto this temporary directory by typing:
-
- CD \TEMP.............where TEMP is the directory in which LMOUSENT.EXE exists
-
- 3] Uncompress LMOUSENT.EXE by typing:
-
- LMOUSENT.............then press Enter
-
- 4] Start Windows NT
- 5] Select the RUN command from the FILE menu and type in:
-
- C:\TEMP\INSTALL......then press Enter
-
- 6] Once the installation is completed, select Shutdown from the File menu
- in order to restart NT and cause the new changes to take effect.
-
- Note: The current mouse drivers are backed up to the same file names with the
- .BAK file extension.
-
- Feedback:
- ---------
-
- These files can be obtained from either:
-
- Logitech BBS at 510-795-0408 or

-
- Technical Information:
- -----------------------
-
- This LMOUSENT.EXE contains two drivers:
-
- 1) BUSMOUSE.SYS which supports all of Logitech BUS mice. The bus board
- address and interrupt jumper should be properly set. The Hardware Interrupts
- (IRQs) supported are 2,3,4 & 5 and the I/O address is 0x023C
-
- 2) SERMOUSE.SYS which supports all of Logitech Serial mice. All Serial mice
- previously supported (before installing these drivers) by the old
- SERMOUSE.SYS driver are also supported.
-
- List Of Files
-
- INSTALL.BAT...............Installation Batch file
- COPYDRV.BAT...............File copying Batch file
- INSTALL.INI...............List the modifications to the registry
- BUSMOUSE.SYS..............NT kernel mode BUS driver
- SERMOUSE.SYS..............NT kernel mode Serial mouse driver
- README.TXT................This readme file
- REGMOD.EXE................A tool to modify the registry
-
- Compatibility:
- --------------
-
- These drivers are compatible with the Windows NT SDK October release. These
- drivers will NOT work under future Windows NT releases due to changes in the
- pointing device data report format. At the time of future releases of Windows
- NT, Logitech will have new mouse drivers.
-
- Advanced features like orientation for the Logitech TrackMan line of
- Pointing Devices is not currently supported.
-
- Troubleshooting:
- ----------------
-
- - If the mouse doesn't respond, make sure it works correctly under DOS.
-
- - These drivers are needed if you previously experienced a "jumping" cursor
- on the screen under NT.
-
- - If you are using a Serial mouse under DOS, you may have to turn off your
- computer before restarting Windows NT or unplug the mouse to power it down,
- otherwise the mouse may not be recognized under NT. An alternative solution
- might be to reload the Logitech DOS mouse driver with the parameter "1200"
- to reset the mouse to 1200 baud. This can be done by loading the mouse
- driver under DOS by typing the following command:
-
- MOUSE 1200
-
- * This is currently due to a limitation of NtDetect (part of Windows NT).
-
- - The installation program makes a few assumptions about the current values
- in the registry. The changes to the registry are (use regedit if you need
- to get back to the default):
-
- Path: Registry\machine\system\currentcontrolset\service
-
- Original Tag New Tag
- Null.sys 0x01 0x01
- Beep.sys 0x02 0x02
- DzPort.sys 0x03 0x03
- I8042Prt.sys 0x04 0x04
- Inport.sys 0x05 0x05
- BusMouse.sys ---- 0x06
- SerMouse.sys 0x06 0x07
- MouClass.sys 0x07 0x08
- Mouse.sys 0x08 0x09
- KbdClass.sys 0x09 0x0A
- Keyborad.sys 0x0A 0x0B
- SqikbMou.sys 0x0B 0x0C
-
- The new driver entries will contain by default the following fields (look
- at the INSTALL.INI file for more information):
-
- BusMouse Type = 0x01
- Start = 0x01
- Group = Base
- ErrorControl = 0x01
- Tag = 0x06
-
- BusMouse\Parameters
- MouseDataQueueSize = 0x64
