Re: Serial Mouse For Fairlight MFX2

2008-12-19 by chaworth012000

Mike,

I have a selection of serial mice that are fine with my MFX 
controller. The one I have connected is a genuine Microsoft mouse 
which I paid around £3 for on eBay. Be careful of PS/2 mice that say 
they are serial port compatible. I have not had much success with 
these.

One caveat though; I can only get my mouse to operate correctly if 
the MFX controller has the rev 11 firmware loaded. If I load the 
9.34 firmware, the mouse simply refuses to work. This of course 
means that when using rev9, there is an incompatibility with the MFX 
controller for MFX operation, but this has no real impact on CMI 
functions. It is interesting that rev11 gives you the option to 
choose the mouse type (set this to MS), whereas rev 9 doesn't.

Has anyone had any success with using a mouse / MFX controller with 
rev 9.34?

Chris.
