Re: [Ql-Users] Replacement Mouse
This logic and etc. are all built in on the SSQB (that's the SUPER SuperQBoard v4!) so it has a PS/2 port and a USB socket (PS/2 adaptor, USB only mice will not work)...

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your suggestion, I did think of that idea. Also, I have found FEP(...) which returns the id of the job created. So, I'm guessing I could do something along these lines ... id = FEP(etc) REPeat wait SUSPEND_TASK 25 IF PJOB(id)=0 : IF OJOB(id)=0 : IF JOB$(id)="" : EXIT wait END REPeat wait I haven't tried this yet. Doing it this way, the task name would not need to be known. Michael ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Re: [Ql-Users] Replacement Mouse
Hi Derek Thanks for that. Making your own seems like a lot of work when USB to PS2 adapters are dirt cheap. Yes I know the mouse would need to understand both PS2 and USB protocols. That's the current PS2 combo mouse type. I will look at the QIMI mouse connection on the Aurora board with the Atari/Amiga USB adapter, but I am also still interested in the serial mouse if it it still available. I will contact you off list about it.

Hi Duncan, I do not have your email address. My email address is: de...@q40.de The USB to Atari/Amiga adapters work really well, fr connection to QIMI the adapter must be in Atari mode. As the Amiga has some lines going to different pins on the DB9 side. There are USB -> PS2 adapters, which connect the USB +Data/-Data line to the PS/2 Data/Clock. See this web link: http://www.instructables.com/id/USB-to-PS2-convertor/ But the USB mouse has to support PS/2 mode.
