You might try the drivers that came with your PS/2 mouse and the serial mouse and see if they'll both work together. I doubt that it'll work, but you don't know until you try. First thing I'd try is putting one of the drviers in config.sys and the other in autoexec.bat.

If you can get those two to coperate, getting the third mouse to work as second should be just a few command line switches.

: In this web site Saint describes how to get a PS/2 and Serial to move the SAME pointer in Windows. This is good for me since I want:
: PS/2 and Serial 1 = move same pointer = analog input #1
: and
: Serial 2 to be either 2 spinners/steering wheels = analog input #2
: (I'll be using ADVANCEMAME)
: So, can you do the PS/2 and serial 1 trick in DOS?

: Thanks in advance,
: John
