In Reply to: Getting 2 Mice to work(PS/2 & Serial) posted by Darren Harris on 19, 2001 at 12:13 PM:
: I use a PS/2 mouse on my system, and I want to make sure that I can use a serial mouse as well. I'm told that Windows can support two mice, but I cannot get my system to recognize any of the serial mice that I have. I've tried all the "Add/Remove" hardware options to no avail.
First, make sure the serial port is enabled. Win 98 will recognize two mice. Use add new hardware and manually select it if required.
Win 98 also will assign both mice to the same driver so they will fight for cursor control. In a Dos box, EMU+ (a mame derivative) will allow independent control of two mice.
Hope this helps.
