#Amouse Version
3 messages in this thread
I have an A2088 BB running Janus 2.1 My question is that I cannot get
the amouse, dosserve, mouserserv or pcdisk to work. I realize that
some of those programs are the old version, but I was desperate. I
am begginning to think that I may not have received the new versions
for the PC side. My Amouse on the BB is dated in 1988, is there a new
version that I did not recieve with my upgrade?? Also the same for
the Aread Awrite commands. Thanks
Gary
You aren't supposed to run the DOSSERVE, MOUSESERVE and TIMESERVE
files on the Amiga side. You run the PC side .EXE files to get these
to work, and the system looks for the first three automatically. If
you don't have the same version files on the PC side, they won't
work. Same with AMouse. You just run the PC side then do a
Left-Amiga-P to go into PC mouse mode. If the AMOUSE.EXE program is
not the right version compared to the Amiga side Janus software
(there's no specific AMOUSE program on the Amiga side, as I recall),
it won't work.
Just to reassure you, though, I used to run Janus 2.1 with an A2088
and everything worked as advertised. Do a reinstall and make sure
you're using all 2.1 Janus files or you won't get this fixed. All my
2.1 PC side Janus files are dated 9-11-91. Here are their sizes:
AREAD.EXE 37383
AWRITE.EXE 37657
JLINK.EXE 34242
AMOUSE.COM 7069
ADISK.COM 5400

I do believe that you ansered my question. If I remember correctly I only
received 3.5 inch amiga diskettes when I purchased the upgrade. I think I may
have been missing the PC side of the janus disketts. Thanks, Gary
