Software Installation

drive and type \DOS\INSTALL <enter> under the right prompt (A: or B:).
Following the installation steps to finish the process.
C. After finishing the installation process, type AMOUSE <enter> under the
right prompt (A: or B:).If you want to use PC mode, type AMOUSE /M
instead of AMOUSE.The default command is MS mode. If your mouse
is connected to a port other than COM1, type AMOUSE/# <enter> instead,
where # is the right COM number; such as, AMOUSE/2, AMOUSE/3, and so
on.
D. Type MSTEST <enter> to start the test program to see if installation
succeeds.
E. More Information About the AMOUSE Command
After finishing both hardware and software installation, type
"AMOUSE/?" for an AMOUSE command table.
About Command "AMOUSE/R#"
This command is for adjusting resolution When you feel your mouse
moves sluggishly you may change the mouse's resolution to a higher mode.
The higher the resolution mode, the faster the cursor moves when you move
your mouse R0 means the computer will control the mouse's resolution
automatically R1 is the lowest resolution (the base mode) and R2 to R9
are times of resolution of the base mode In other words, R2 is a
resolution mode twice high as R1, R3 is a resolution mode three times high
as R1, and R9 is the highest resolution mode.
Other AMOUSE Commands
AMOUSE/?, AMOUSE/H, or AMOUSE/h: for Help information.
AMOUSE/#: Use when your mouse is not using COM1.
AMOUSE/M: For MS mode
AMOUSE/C: For PC mode
You may give more than one command at the same time without
worrying about their sequence For example, "AMOUSE/2/R0/M" is the same as
"AMOUSE/M/2/R0" to the computer; both will work out the same results.
