Dave – I don't have a bridgeboard — yet — but saw Ronnie Pertuit's note about trying to use a Logitech serial mouse with the multi I/O board. My question is, Is it necessary? Can't the Amiga mouse be used on the PC side as well? . . . . JimDoc, on AutoPilot

Dave's answer is correct but…the AMOUSE driver for Bridgeboard does have a bug it in which causes some programs to not interpret the mouse moves correctly. (Ever tried to use a mouse while looking at the screen side-ways AND through a mirror? That's the effect you get with some programs) So for I've had problems with AMOUSE and three programs; Neopaint, a shareware paint program, the Prodigy terminal program and the the sound editor program for the Sound Blaster. Commodore said they have no plans or interest in correcting the AMOUSE driver so that was my main reason for wanting to install another mouse. (Plus the mouse was given to me as a gift from my wife) On the other hand, life with two mice can get confusing at times. But I did find a solution to the serial port problem and now I've got both my modem and mouse working happily together.
