OS/2 2.0 Pointing Device Installation Document Version 1.1

INSTALL YOUR POINTING DEVICE
----------------------------
...
During installation the mouse device driver will attempt to
detect your pointing device. If it does you will NOT
receive a mouse selection panel during  diskette 2.
It is highly recommended that you do NOT go into the
PM mouse panel to change things if you are not prompted
to do so. We are finding out that many customers are
messing things up by forcing a different device type
then what was detected. A prime example of this is the
Logitech series M mouse. This mouse is compatible with
the MS serial mouse and will be detected. The mouse panel
will read MS Serial Mouse. A lot of customers are then
going into the PM panel and choosing Logitech Serial.
This choice will add the PCLOGIC.SYS driver which does
NOT work for the Logitech series M mouse.
...
The bottom line is if you are not prompted for any mouse
information leave well enough alone.

CONFIG.SYS STATEMENTS
---------------------
...
For most of the common pointing devices that are
out today the OS/2 2.0 CONFIG.SYS line for mouse
support is simply.
...
DEVICE=C: OS2 MOUSE.SYS
...
There are some older Logitech Devices (i.e. Trackman)

that are not detectable by MOUSE.SYS.
These devices are still supported.
...
The CONFIG.SYS lines for undetectable Logitech devices
and PC Mouse System Mice are;
...
DEVICE=C: OS2 PCLOGIC.SYS SERIAL=COM1
DEVICE=C: OS2 MOUSE.SYS TYPE=PCLOGIC$
...
...
If the device is plugged into COM2 then change the
SERIAL= parameter to COM2.
...
Note: On an AT bus system a serial mouse will
      only install on COM1 or COM2, and only
      if COM1 and COM2 are at the standard
      I/O addresses and IRQs, 3F8,IRQ4 for COM1
      and 2F8,IRQ3 form COM2.
...
The following pointing devices have been tested and
verified to work. I have also included the CONFIG.SYS
statements for each entry.
...

...
There are hundreds of pointing devices available today.
Most of these are Microsoft compatable. If they are 100%
MS compatable we support them with  the following
CONFIG.SYS statement DEVICE=C: OS2 MOUSE.SYS.
...
We have found that some devices are not 100% compatible
and therefore are  not supported.
...
The mouse device driver is layered allowing an OEM to
easily add support for there pointing device.
By writing a small mouse device dependent driver
they can get there device to work with OS/2 2.0.
Please contact the OEM manufacturer to find out if
they provide a device driver for OS/2 2.0.

...
An example of an OEM manufacturer that provides
OS/2 support is HP. HP provides HILMOU.SYS and
NOEXBIOS.SYS device drivers. Below is the
instructions for adding support for your HIL mouse.
...
 HP Mouse
...
  - Directions for installing an HP mouse
    1- Select any mouse during system installation
    2- Copy HILMOU.SYS and NOEXBIOS.SYS to C: OS2
       (these are supplied by the manufacturer)
    3-Modify CONFIG.SYS with the following in the order
      shown:
           DEVICE=C: OS2 NOEXBIOS.SYS
           DEVICE=C: OS2 HILMOU.SYS
           DEVICE=C: OS2 MOUSE.SYS TYPE=HILMOU$(THIS LINE
                 SHOULD ALREADY BE IN CONFIG.SYS BUT WILL
                 NEED TYPE=... ADDED )
...

     Customer may also go to his dealer for the diskette
     which ships with the mouse.
