I tried it with almost 10 mouses. No one works. The problem was not in the mouse, was in NiceMouse. I don't know why, but NiceMouse appears to accept only Microsoft Mouses, and I refuse to buy ANYTHING from M$. So I bought AdMouse. It was cheapper and worked with ALL of my mouses. It not only works perfectly as a mouse, but it also has a mode that makes my mouse act like a joystick! It's perfect for thouse programs that doesn't support mouse but support joystick, like older drawing programs. There is a third mode that "disable" the adaptor, acting as if there is nothing attached to the joystick/mouse/paddle port. http://www.faq.msxnet.org/ http://nav.webring.yahoo.com/hub?ring=msxring&page=2&list http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Alley/1687/eng.html? http://www.msxall.hpg.com.br/English/MainPage.htm http://www.msxall.hpg.com.br/ http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/2653/ You'll maybe have seen these MSX adaptor links before: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/bdx/info/bdxtech/s-760.html http://wig.nu/w341/mc88.html http://www.vespanet.com.br/~manuxcritos/psIImouse.htm http://perso.wanadoo.es/replay/nice.htm (This is the MIRI Nice Mouse page) http://www.carchano.com.br/admouse.htm (This is the MSX Admouse page) Enjoy!
