Re: [Ql-Users] Replacement Mouse

[Dave Park via Ql-Users]

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.

Hi,

I am wanting to use EXEP some_turbo_task; arg$, "i", "u"
and then wait until that job completes before continuing.
Is there such a command that does this?
If not, then how can this be implemented?
Any ideas please

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.

Cheers

Duncan

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.

I have not had much success with USB to PS/2 adapters, I have lots of 
the USB to PS/2 Plug adapters, Maplin Electronics sell them for £0.61, 
so could worth risk...
