Subject: Using LOGITECH Products under IBM OS/2

Solution:
Mouse Hardware
--------------
All LOGITECH Mice work with the IBM OS/2 mouse drivers.
Proper installation for the various types of mice is as follows:

Serial Mouse
Select "Mouse Systems Mouse" during OS/2 installation
("DEVICE=MOUSEx00.SYS SERIAL=COMn" in CONFIG.SYS).
Replace "x" in "MOUSEx00.SYS" with "A" for AT-type computers
or "B" for PS/2 computers.

Bus Mouse, EGA & Mouse
Select "Microsoft Mouse, Bus Version" during OS/2 installation
("DEVICE=MOUSEA03.SYS" in config.sys).
The OS/2 driver will not recognize the middle button.

Series/2 Mouse
Install as IBM PS/2 Mouse during OS/2 installation
("DEVICE=MOUSEB05.SYS" in config.sys).

EGA & Mouse Board
The EGA board works well under OS/2, provided the switches are set to
make it look like a standard EGA - Autoswitching OFF, with enhanced
display. In some circumstances the board works when set to an Autosynch
display). We have AutoCAD and Windows drivers that can put the Monitor
in 640x480 mode, and they work in the DOS box, but switching to OS/2 and
back corrupts the screen. OS/2 will not boot if Autoswitching is ON.

Mouse Software
--------------
All of the software mentioned below can only be run in the DOS
Compatibility Box (also known as Real Mode).

Driver
The DOS driver can only be run if the OS/2 driver is not loaded.
The DOS driver works perfectly in the Compatibility Box.
Customers who do not have OS/2 applications that use a mouse should use
the DOS driver, since it appears to update the cursor more frequently,
giving smoother motion.
Click & Menu are both compatible with Real Mode.

LOGITECH's Bundled Programs
---------------------------
LOGICADD (Generic CADD)
Can only be used if the OS/2 mouse driver is not installed, because it
tries to take over the interrupt for the mouse (which is not allowed by
OS/2). It does work if the DOS driver is installed.

LOGITECH Publisher (First Publisher)
Works with both the OS/2 driver and the DOS driver.

LOGIPAINT (PC Paintbrush)
Works with both the OS/2 driver and the DOS driver.

LOGITECH PaintShow
Works with both the OS/2 driver and the DOS driver. Use the EGA mode for
proper operation.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
