: Hello all,

: I think I answered my own question from Oscar's web site. I believe that the issue with Optimouse assigning the secondary mouse to player 2 is the issue. Here is the solution I am going to try out later today:

: "Three Mouse Devices

: By using a DOS dual mouse driver, I have a PS/2 mouse and (2) serial OSCAR's
: operating together on my test machine. It is accomplished by using DOS MAME
: .37b11 or later and modifying your Autoexec.bat file this way:

: -------------------------

: C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE DUAL

: C:\OPTIDRV\OPTIDRV.COM /2

: -------------------------

: The dual mouse driver initializes the PS/2 mouse and the OSCAR connected to COM
: 1. These will both be assigned to "Player 1". The optidrv.com initializes the OSCAR
: connected to COM 2, and it is assigned to "Player 2". Using this method, it is feasible
: to have a PS/2 trackball (Imperial PS/2 arcade trackball comes to mind) and dual
: spinners connected to a PC without using an additional interface! "

: Thanks for the info!

Yes, the Optimouse drivers only assign the second mouse to Player 2. If you want both devices (trackball & spinner) to be associated with Player 1 under DOS, then you DO need a dual DOS mouse driver. You can download that from my website.
