Serial RS232 Mouse

242 bytes added, 20:14, 5 February 2010
Serial RS232 mice could be connected to RS232 interfaces, such like the [[Amstrad Serial Interface]], or to other (in-)compatible Serial interfaces (see [[Peripherals]] for a complete list of known Serial interfaces).
* With their hardware based motion-counters, these mice would give much better resolution (5120 mickeys/second) (forty 3-byte packets/second) than the [[AMX Mouse]] (300 mickeys/second). Another approach to use a RS232 mouse would be a mouse interface like the [[AMX Kit]], though that'd cripple the resolution to the AMX level. == Known CPC Software that supports RS232 Mice == * The [[Aleste 520EX]] uses its built-in RS232 port to access a serial mouse. [not sure if that's supported at BIOS level, or if it requires special software, like the MSXDOS disk or so?]
== Standard Serial Mouse (most common) ==
