- MROOCHECK INTERFACE FEATURES
-
- Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface (in U.K.: PUNCHINELLO MK II)
- is a microprocessor-based adapter for attaching PC mice, trackballs,
- glidepoints, radio-controlled mice to all models of Amiga computers.
-
- It is connected between the PC mouse and Amiga Mouse port.
-
- It supports PC serial and combo (PS/2 and serial) mice working in
- the following protocols:
-
- Mouse System format,
- Microsoft format,
- Microsoft format with Logitech extension.
-
- Mroocheck converts these serial protocols to Amiga Mouse Port format
- including all the specific features like the middle (3rd and 4th) button
- support or high resolution. The conversion is made fully by interface
- microprocessor so NO additional software drivers are required.
-
- The interface start working simultaneously with computer's start
- so mouses could be used in the early-startup-menu (unlike the mice
- connected through the serial port).
-
- Additionally, Mroocheck interface recognizes vertical and horizontal
- mouse wheel movements and converts them to analog joystick signals.
- mice wheel movements are sent to Amiga via Amiga Mouse Port.
-
-
- MROOCHECK.DRIVER
-
- Syntax: Mroocheck.driver QUIT/S, FREQ/N,
- where FREQ is the horizontal frequency (in kHz) of current Amiga chipset
- graphic mode. Default value is FREQ=15 (PAL, NTSC).
-
- Mroocheck.driver converts Amiga analog joysticks signals
- (horizontal and vertical wheels movements) from
- Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface to input events for input.device.
-
- The input events generated by Mroocheck.driver are compliant with
- the format used by the NewMouse program (by Alessandro Zummo).
- This ensures the full compatibility with all the existing wheel-support
- software.
-
- Wheels movements are transmitted independently of (simultaneously with)
- mouse movements and mouse buttons clicks.
-
- Mroocheck allows scrolling in both directions (horizontal and vertical)
- even in mice with one wheel only. Switching directions (from vertical
- to horizontal) in one-wheel mice is obtained by holding the 3rd mouse
- button simultaneous with wheel movement.
-
-
- FREEWHEEL PROGRAM
-
- FreeWheel is a commodity which converts wheelmouse events into
- scrollbar movement or cursor key movements.
- It can also map several useful functions to the wheel button,
- and even a fourth button...
-
- Please read FreeWheel.guide for more.
-
-
- MROOCHECKTEST
-
- When Mroocheck.driver is running the MroocheckTest shows wheel movements.
-
-
- AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
-
- 1. Boot the computer from its hard disk.
- 2. Run Mroocheck-Install from the Mroocheck floppy disk.
-
- Note: The Installer program (from INSTALL Workbench) must be present
- in the C: drawer of the booting disk.
-
- Note: Mroocheck-Install installs Mroocheck.driver and FreeWheel program.
- FreeWheel is installed in SYS:WBStartup drawer.
-
- Note: If you use any Amiga chipset graphic mode different tham PAL or NTSC
- please add option FREQ to the Mroocheck.driver line in S:User-Startup.
- FREQ=15 for PAL, NTSC or any graphic card mode,
- FREQ=27 for DbPAL, DbNTSC,
- FREQ=29 for EURO72,...
-
-
- MANUAL SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
-
- 1. Copy Mroocheck.driver to the C: drawer.
- 2. Place the line:
- C:Mroocheck.driver
- in your S:user-startup.
-
- Note: If you use any Amiga chipset graphic mode different tham PAL or NTSC
- please add option FREQ to the Mroocheck.driver line in S:User-Startup.
- FREQ=15 for PAL, NTSC or any graphic card mode,
- FREQ=27 for DbPAL, DbNTSC,
- FREQ=29 for EURO72,...
-
- You can also start Mroocheck.driver from icon.
-
- ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE
-
- With the Mroocheck interface you could also use the following programs
- for interpreting wheel movements with the current Amiga software:
-
- MuiWheel12.lha
- MCC_Nlist0_89.lha
- IntuiWheel10.lha
-
- All these programs are available from Aminet.
-
-
- GREETINGS TO:
-
- Simon N. Goodwin
- for the suggestion of using analog Amiga inputs (for wheel support),
-
- Alastair M. Robinson
- for allowing to bundle FreeWheel software with the Mroocheck interface.
