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.
