Yes, I can imagine that. It is a very good practice. All those programs that
read the mouse directly do not run on the MSX turbo R in R800 mode, since
they don't wait long enough.

Very SMART indeed. In stead of polling the mouse each and every time in a
busy loop, which uses a lot of time, it is much smarter to read it only 50 or
60 times a second on the interrupt routine. It also guarantees that movement
of the mousepointer is synchronised with the screen refresh.
