- 1. Introduction
-
- This file is helping you to install and use this mouse on your
- computer. This installation process has two sections -- the hardware part
- and the software part. Information on how to run the mouse driver
- automatically afterwards is also given. If you do not automate these
- actions, you will need to run the mouse driver every time you start your
- computer. This mouse driver program is about 12KB large, as big as most
- mice's. The last section of this file contains more information about
- AMOUSE commands.
-
-
- 2. Mouse Installation -- Hardware Section
-
- System Configuration Requirements
-
- To use this mouse on your computer, your machine should have:
- A. At Least 256K System Memory (RAM): Most computers have a 640K or larger
- system memory, so you may not need to worry about this.
- B. A RS-232 Serial Port or a PS/2 Port: Most serial ports are RS-232 and
- have either 9-pin or 25-pin connectors. PS/2 ports are usually 6-Din.
- Ports are usually identified as COM1, COM2, and so on, by the computer.
-
- Hardware Installation
-
- To do the hardware part, you need to
- A. Turn off the computer.
- B. Find the mouse port in the back of your computer and plug the mouse
- connector in. If the pin number of the mouse port differs from the hole
- number of your mouse connector, use an adapter.
-
-
- 3. Mouse Installation -- Software Section
-
- Software Installation
-
- Do the software part after finishing the hardware part. In this
- section you need to
- A. Turn on the computer.
- B. Put the mouse driver diskette that comes with this mouse into a floppy
- drive and type AMOUSE <enter> under the right prompt (A: or B:). If
- your mouse is connected to a port other than COM1, type AMOUSE/# <enter>
- instead, where # is the right COM number; such as, AMOUSE/2, AMOUSE/3,
- and so on.
- C. Type UTEST <enter> to start the test program to see if installation
- succeeds.
-
- Trouble Shooting
-
- If the mouse does not work,
- * check if the mouse is fastened to the right port properly; or
- * redo the whole process including both hardware and software
- installation. If it still does not work, call the seller for help.
-
-
- 4. Start the Mouse Automatically
-
- This paragraph is going to tell you how to make your computer
- start the mouse automatically after installation. If you do not do this
- section, you will need to run the mouse driver every time you start your
- computer.
- To start the mouse automatically, you need to
- A. Copy file AMOUSE.COM from the mouse driver diskette to your hard disk by
- typing "copy A:amouse.com c: <return>" (or "copy B:amouse.com c:<return>",
- depending on which floppy drive you are using).
- B. Add one line saying "AMOUSE" (or AMOUSE/#, where # is the right port
- number, if your mouse is not using COM1) to file AUTOEXEC.BAT through
- most word-processing software; such as PE2, Word Star, Word Perfect,
- Microsoft Word, and so on. If file AUTOEXEC.BAT is not there, look up
- your DOS manual to find our how to create one.

- 5. More Information About the AMOUSE Command
-
- After finishing both hardware and software installation, type
- "AMOUSE/?" for an AMOUSE command table.
-
- About Command "AMOUSE/R#"
-
- This command is for adjusting resolution. When you feel your mouse
- moves sluggishly you may change the mouse's resolution to a higher mode.
- The higher the resolution mode, the faster the cursor moves when you move
- your mouse. R0 means the computer will control the mouse's resolution
- automatically. R1 is the lowest resolution (the base mode) and R2 to R9
- are times of resolution of the base mode. In other words, R2 is a
- resolution mode twice high as R1, R3 is a resolution mode three times high
- as R1, and R9 is the highest resolution mode.
-
- Other AMOUSE Commands
-
- AMOUSE/?, AMOUSE/H, or AMOUSE/h: for Help information.
- AMOUSE/#: Use when your mouse is not using COM1.
- AMOUSE/L: for converting your mouse to a left hand mode
-
- You may give more than one command at the same time without
- worring about their sequence. For example, "AMOUSE/2/R0/L" is the same as
- "AMOUSE/L/2/R0" to the computer; both will work out the same results.
