- Yup. A C7 type.

- The C7 does _not_ run in Microsoft mode on power up. OS/2 seems to only
- support the PCMouse mode with the Logitech mouse and it can't switch the
- mouse over if it is not in PCMouse mode. 1. Check the CONFIG.SYS if there
- is something like PCMOUSE$ as an option after the mouse driver.
-
- The drivers necessary are in correct order:
-
- POINTDD.SYS
- PCLOGIC.SYS SERIAL=COM2
- MOUSE.SYS TYPE=PCMOUSE$
- COM.SYS
- MDOS\VCOM.SYS
-
-
- Now do a complete power down. Power up and boot _directly_ into OS/2. Don't
- touch the mouse until the desktop is up and running. The mouse should work
- now!
-
- If it doesn't, disconnect it and reconnect it right now when the desktop is
- up. If it _does_ work now, there's something somewhere in the system that
- switched the mouse over to microsoft mode.

-
- If you specify something like "C:\MOUSE\MOUSE 2 PC" the mouse should be
- operating in PCMouse mode under DOS, too. You should then be able to reboot
- for OS/2 without a power down. This didn't work for me, though. But maybe
- it's only an old DOS MOUSE.SYS.
