Thanks Cristian.

Does your Philips mouse work well ? And most important, what connection do you use, this one :

or this one ?

Are you using serial 2 ? And what sermouse version do you use ? Any special configuration or stock driver ?

Thanks a lot

This second one, which is related to SER2. If I remember well, you should really connect the mouse to SER2.
The mouse works quite well, considering its age and the normal issues due to the dust on the rubber ball.
I utilize the latest Sermouse version (sorry I can't remember the version number). You must configure the driver according to your hardware. I carefully read the Sermouse manual, followed the instructions and everything went well.

guys, thank you verry much for all your help !

I finally managed to get the mouse working ! What I did is to use the "general configuration utility" to open the file named "ENG_2button_sermouse" and to save it as working copy under the name of "sermouse" in WIN1. Now, all my mouses are working !

Thanks to you, i managed to do that, but with a learning curve, letting me now understand a little bit more how the system work. Now, I know how to make a LRESPR to load a driver, to edit the boot file to launch something automaticaly, to use the config tool, to exchange datas beteween the CF and the PC with Habi, and of course to have a serial mouse working :-)

Thanks a lot !

Great!!
So, it would be nice if you add your mouses info and/or pictures to the "compatible mice list" topic, if you can :)

Please, can you specify the settings that you used for "general configuration utility" ?
I never managed to get them right :(

I didn't changed any settings, I simply saved the file "ENG_2button_sermouse" in"WIN1_Sermouse" path. The result was that the driver printed "2 buttons mouse driver" at the launch instead "3 buttons mouse driver" as before.
