With an enhanced IIe, the MouseText characters show up instead of the intended characters. Anyone have one that works with an enhanced IIe?Somewhere I have a version of SoftCard IIe CP/M that was patched to avoid this issue. Murray Arnow (sometimes columnist for CALL Apple) disassembled the entire SoftCard IIe operating system and many of the utilities. If I can ever find it, I'll try to make this available.I once tried to write a quick program to send the control characters to turn off MouseText, but they came right back :-( If you ever come across the patch, I'd appreciate it,
Did they come back only after Ctrl-C? If so, there was a problem with the original SoftCard IIe CP/M resetting I/O after a relog. They fixed this in a later revision.
