Zybex Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I'm looking for a program for use the ST mouse and test it. I use SAM, but when i connect the mouse to the joy 1, the arrow on the screen moves with "inertia", and the buttons doesn`t responding. When i connect the mouse to the port 2, nothing happens. Please, recommend me a program for test this mouse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 DiamondOS had support for an ST mouse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNXGUY Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Sorry but the Atari 8 bits are not compatible with the ST computers and Atari 8 bits do not use a mouse at least not that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 @LynxGuy: Then you really don't know enough @Zybex: There are some games which use the ST Mouse - for example try Shanghai or Operation Blood, select appropriate option and plug mouse into PORT2. Et voilla! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaur Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 IIRC...There was an Easter egg in Missile Command. When you booted the game,you pressed a key at the title page and could use an ST mouse,I believe in joyport 2. I'll bet Curt Vendal knows more about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNXGUY Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Hey miker why so mad I only typed what I believe is true and I am not and I don't claim to be an Atari know it all I just don't know everything Atari, I know alot but not everything thanks for the info anyway, I always learn something new whenever I log onto this site. There are probably hundreds of games for the 8bit that I am not aware of It'is a surprise to me that there is an 8 bit game that uses a mouse Where would one buy a mouse when Shanghai or Operation Blood came out ?? I wasn't aware that atari made a mouse until I bought an ST. When was the 8 bit mouse made public, I never seen it anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zybex Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 Thanks for the tips. Another thing : SAM = "Screen Aided Managment" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaur Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 There was a commercially made mouse made just for the 8bit called: "The Rat" It came with a disk containing software (drivers?) I believe it was made Zobian Controls. Problem was,it cost as much as an 800XL at the time! I think very few were sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pps Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I wasn't aware that atari made a mouse until I bought an ST.When was the 8 bit mouse made public, I never seen it anywhere Hmm, I don´t know if there was ever made one especially for the ATARI 8-Bit, but since the Joyport of the "little" ATARIs are the better ones, even everything what you cann connect to ST shall work with A8! Just someone have to write a driver for that device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunsen Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Sorry, but i'm looking for a BASIC or ASM routine. MOUSE.ARC John Maris tells us how to use an ST or Amiga mouse on the 8 bit Atari without its driver taking up all of our CPU time. MOUSEINT.ARC The driver in .M65 format plus a demo to show you how it works. http://www.mathyvannisselroy.nl/special%20...tuff.htm#diving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
