Hi guys,
I know this is has a windows question embedded in it
but maybe you wouldnt mind taking a gander at it anyway.
We are trying to get windows to not realize that
a device connected to it is a mouse so that we can
read the raw input. You see, if windows sees a mouse
on the serial port and the ps2 port then both control
the cursor. We want to see if we can prevent the serial
mouse from being detected.
Since the mouse will return an "M" to the os
when the DTR is toggled... two ideas have been proposed..
1) clip the DTR
-- this just sounds so wrong to me. the DTR has
got to be used for other things right?
2) re-pin (?) the dtr to that it has a -12V on it at
all times. --- I dont think this will work
either.
Do you guys have any ideas? This really isnt a problem
under linux but for windows its a realy pain. Do you guys
know of a way to prevent the os from using a mouse on the
serial port?
Many Many Thanks in advance,
-Marwan
