* * * * * * UPDATED FEATURES FOR AMOUSE VERSION 7.0 * * * * * *
The following mouse parameters have been added to Amouse driver
A. Hardware Resolution ( /Rn )
-------------------------
With this parameter, an exciting new concept in Mouse control
has been developed. A precise location on the screen can be
selected with greater ease and speed.
Movement of the cursor across the screen is based on the tra-
vel count and speed of the movement of the mouse. It is not
only measured in terms of physical distance traveled by the
mouse, but also checking how quick the mouse is moved by your
hand. The faster the movement of the mouse, the further the
cursor movement on the screen. Therefore, less hand movement
is involved.
The Mouse's resolution can be increased up to 4200 dots
per inch. You may choose the desired resolution according to
the requirements of your applications.
This option is not case sensitive : any combination of upper-
case and lowercase letter is acceptable.
To select the resolution, type the command:
A:>AMOUSE /Rn ( Where n = 0 to 9, 0 set the auto hardware
resolution.)
For example, if you set the resolution on the double times,
enter the followings : AMOUSE /R2
B. Communication Port ( n )
------------------------
There are four general purpose communication ports generally
used on your personal computer. The relative address and IRQ
no. are listed in the table below:
-------+----------+------------------+----------
n | COM no. | Address in HEX. | IRQ no.
-------+----------+------------------+----------
1 | COM 1 | 3F8h | IRQ 4
2 | COM 2 | 2F8h | IRQ 3
3 | COM 3 | 3E8h | IRQ 4
4 | COM 4 | 2E8h | IRQ 3
-------+----------+------------------+----------
The Serial Mouse can be set to any one of the four
communication ports, ( COM1 to COM4 ). The command format is
A:>AMOUSE /n ( Where n = 1 to 4 ).
For example, if you install the mouse at COM1 ( default sett-
ing ), enter the following:
A:>AMOUSE /1 or A:>AMOUSE
If you want to install the mouse at COM4 enter the following:
A:>AMOUSE/4
C. Hand Mode
---------
Amouse driver provides two opertion modes for users.One is for
right-handed users,the other for left-handed users.
If you are a right-handed user,type following
A:>AMOUSE (the driver default setting is right-handed mode)
If you are a left-handed user,please type following
A:>AMOUSE/L or AMOUSE/l
D. Multiple parameters
-------------------
It is also possible to select the resolution,the communication
port and hand mode at the same time. The sequence of selecting
the multiple parameter is:
1). Resolution ( /Rn)
2). Communication port ( /n )
3). Hand Mode
The parameters list above have no certain combination.
If you type
A:>AMOUSE /l/2/r3
it the same as
A:>AMOUSE /r3/l/2
NOTE:The driver provides default setting that the parameter
list above you have not selected.
Ex: A:>AMOUSE /r3/3
The I/O address is COM3(3E8h) and IRQ4 is assigned. The
movement of cursor is 3 times faster than the movement of
mouse,and the driver supports right-handed mode.
Ex: A:>AMOUSE /2/l
This command connects your mouse to the standard communicat-
ion port COM2.The driver supports left-haanded mode and the
movement of cursor becomes 1 times (default setting) hardware
resolution.
Ex: A:>AMOUSE /4
This command connects your mouse to the standard communicat-
ion port COM4 ( The address and IRQ no. are found in table
of section B ) where default hardware resolution is being
used,and the driver supports right-handed mode.
E. PS/2 mode
---------
This option tell the mouse driver to install the mouse on a
mouse port. Because the first priority of the mouse driver
installation is the mouse port, the serial ports are choosed
when a mouse port is unavailable. This option overrides the
mouse driver on the mouse port.
If you use a PS/2 mouse on PS/2 machine,type following
A:>AMOUSE
F. BUS mode
--------
The Amouse driver also supports BUS mouse,if your BUS mouse
connnects to a BUS card,then type
A:>AMOUSE/B or AMOUSE/b
G. Uninstall ( OFF )
-----------------
This option removes the mouse driver from memory.
Ex : C>AMOUSE OFF
F. Help ( /H, /h or /? )
---------------------
This option displays all of the options and the command list.
This option is not case sensitive : any combination of upper-
case and lowercase letter is acceptable.
