- "PC-mouse" is Mouse Systems. If you can find the switching code, you
- should be able to set it into that mode.
-
- For people buying a new system: the mouse to get is anything _hardware_
- switchable between Microsoft/Mouse Systems. I have a Merit mouse - it
- has a little switch on the bottom - and it works perfectly.

- You should be able to get such a thing through any good mail-order parts
- shop, for $15 or so.
