He couldn't get it to work on his PC. It would work for about 30 seconds, then the mouse would go very jerky and soon after the keyboard would stop responding. It works OK on my PC (you can even plug it in at the same time as the PS/2 kbdand mouse and they all work at the same time!), but when anything happens to slug the PC (indexing, anti-virus scans, TV tuner card), they becomes jerky and with poor response, as though a much lower priority than the PS/2 mouse/kbd. Very interesting - QPC is smoother with it than most other Windoze apps. and the problem is not as apparent in QPC2 (yet another round of applause for Marcel!) Anyway, thanks for the quick response everyone. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
