    His mouse is doing just what mine does.  These are the unfortunate
effects of running the serial mouse port at 1200 baud, which is the
power-on default.  The mouse itself can be programmed to run faster,
and at 9600 baud it's as slick and responsive as a mouse should be.
The DOS drivers which come with the Logitech mouse do this.  OS/2 does
not.

    As far as I know, there's no way to get OS/2 to program the mouse
for 9600 baud.  If someone does know a way, please tell me.  I
sincerely hope IBM (or Logitech) improves this situation in the future.

OS/2 2.0 will do for me until AmigaDOS for the 386 comes along...
