This program is made for people who want to make their own COM-Port Mouse Driver without having to make use of int33h. This program is a beta version, sow unforeseen problems may occur. By downloading the program the downloader downloads it at his own risk.
[Little disclaimer reminder]
I remind you that this code might cause unforeseen problems, although it was
made with the intention to function right. If you use this code, you use this code at your own risk!
[INTRO]
I made this program only for educational use. This becource there is lots of info to find on the internet but there is no 'real' example program for less advanced asm-programmers. (or i couldn't find it :S)
In the most programs i found, was explained how to use the int 33h function, but since this is created by a driver I couldn't use it for my own purpose. (building an OS)
[Contents]
In the included .ASM file I show how to use the COM-mouse with an MS-protocol.
Since there are too many protocols available this program wont cover all. I only choose the MS-protocol becouse most of my mice would run on this.
The .ASM file is an uncompiled .COM file for only use in MS-DOS. (U can compile it with NASM) Since I had problems getting it running under XP.

Download a dos bootdisk, internet search, and put this file on that disk and try booting from the floppydisk.
[COM-Port Control]
For more info on controlling the COM-Port I recommend u to download the "Ralf Brown Interrupt List". (most internet search engines will find this)
In this list are also ports included. This list covers many if not all of the interrupts and ports, this was very usefull to me for building my OS. (Yust a recommendation nothing more)
