I just downloaded a later Logitech DOS driver (mouse.exe) from inside ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse/m83setup.exe It has a "9600" option to set the rate to 9600 "if possible" and apparently isn't possible on the mouse I'm using. But potentially something for the OP to try from DOS. …

So I really prefer just using a MS (or sufficiently compatible) mouse that can do 19200... this results in about 400 "mice baud", definitely sufficient for smooth mouse control. I just downloaded a later Logitech DOS driver (mouse.exe) from inside ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse/ …

This would be a limit of the mouse not the motherboard. Most AT motherboards late enough to have onboard serial would be 16550A serial so up to 115200 bps. Do you have a picture of the boards? Sometimes there is a header next to the keyboard port, ready to be connected to a PS/2 mouse port. Also, …

I wouldn't mind using a USB card, although my previous experiences with USB in DOS haven't been that great. Nor have i ever tried to get a USB Mouse working in it. Is there anyway to findout what motherboards support 19,200 baud for COM? Evidently it seems my 486 doesn't like it, but what about a …

There is no polling. Both serial and PS/2 are interrupt driven. The mouse driver catches the interrupts and processes the events directly as they happen. Use the mode command to change the bitrate for COMx. Officially it is necessary to send a character sequence to the mouse afterwards to alert it …

There is lag if you use COM ports at default 1200bps. But you can use up to 19200 bps on serial interfaces, at least with true microsoft compatible mice. Very low lag if any, compared to PS2. And COM->PS2 adapters are commonly delivered with Microsoft PS2 mice , so they are basically free, unlike …

Hi hi! Im working on a early 95 era Pentium build. Iv got most of it figured out but I'm stuck on what motherboard to use and the question of PS2 ports. Specifically with mice. First motherboard option is an Intel "Plato" socket 5 board. I have no experience with early intel boards, i assume they …

Hi there! Sorry for bumping this thread. I was looking at buying one of these off serdashop but had a question: Does this adapter do *anything* to up the polling rate of the mouse in DOS? I hate using serial mice, and how imprecise and jerky they feel from the low polling rate. In Windows you can …
