Buggy Mouse Interface
Dumb question, but I'll ask anyway, since, well, I don't know.
I have a Mouse Interface card I decided to test (since someone
wanted to buy it.) I presume I just plug the thing in (Slot 4 rev.B //e)
and connect a mouse and individual software will take it from there.
I dug up whatever mouse using software I have and tried things.
Flobynoid would lock up during the second disk access (before the
options screen.) The one time I did make it as far as the game, it
didn't respond to the mouse. (And locked up when returning to options.
Next I tried Balance of Power, no mouse option appeared.
Finally I tried an issue of Softdisk, crashed on booting.
I thought I had a disk that went bad.
Denying the possibility all my disks suddenly went bad I pulled
out the mouse interface and tried things again. Softdisk booted fine.
Flobynoid worked without problem and I managed to clear about 2/3 of
the bricks having no control over the paddle. =^) Didn't try BoP since
it wasn't bombing earlier.
Seems this interface card is causing things to crash. Any
thoughts? Card seems too bulky to use as a cool bookmark.
