As the topic says, I have tried using some PS/2 mice in my 1000RL, but no luck with the cutemouse driver. Any reason why this is?
Unrelated, but thanks, Cloudschatze, I just found and ordered a SyQuest Shuttle parallel to SCSI adapter off eBay. 🤣
It’s an XT port that has a different address
Windows 3.11 on my RLX has the same issue, so serial mice for me.
Someone on vcfed did have modified Windows files to support a Tandy XT PS2 mouse, gotta wonder what dos drivers support Tandy ?
Cutemouse version 1.9 will work with the RL's mouse port. If that's the version giving you trouble, you'll want to check to make sure that the mouse port is showing as "Installed" via the SETUPRL utility.

That was me. The same workaround that I described for Windows 3.1's LMOUSE.DRV is also applicable to Microsoft's DOS-based MOUSE.COM drivers. The DOS diskettes that came with the RL and RLX also contain compatible/modified versions of Logitech's MOUSE.COM and MOUSE.SYS drivers.
I'll give it a try, but did you use any special command arguments for the driver?
So, I found a 90s Compaq PS/2 mouse, and plugged it in for shits&giggles. Cutemouse managed to detect it, and it works great in Deskmate!
sorry for bothering this thread, but my T1000RL keyboard is driving me nuts.
I already opened it four times but I can't fix it...I am thinking about using a different Keyboard but afair this is not standardized PS/2.
"u" sometimes never works...sometimes it works with pressing "u" hard, sometimes it works when pressing soft on "u".
"k" sometimes comes out as "ku"
"uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" is displayed sometimes without touching the keyboard.
The keyboard is "pita" it's very difficult to fix. working on the opened keyboard is very hard.

the keyboard needed is just an XT one with ps/2 plug
so if you have a XT keyboard use it with an at->ps/2 adapter and it will work
That could be a good solution! Thx!

The connector name for the AT keyboard is DIN (5 pin), for PS/2 keyboard it's Mini-DIN 6.
The connector is also commonly known as diode plug.
MIDI uses the DIN connector, too. S-Video uses Hosiden, however, not Mini-DIN, so beware. 😉
