Tandy 2000 mouse driver

[nullvalue]

Looking for someone who could provide me with the Digi-Mouse driver (MOUSE.SYS) for the Tandy 2000 on a 5 1/4 inch diskette that my 2000 can load. I will pay for the diskette and shipping.

Got my Tandy 2000 boot disk listing back on eBay

@rmartin65: For laughs I dug through a few disk images at the Tandy 2000 software archive github. The Tandy 2000 Diagnostic disk image has a "MOUSE.SYS" on it, that's probably what you want. I extracted it and put it in a ZIP file, ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEES. If your Tandy 2000 explodes, well, I'm sorry.

I just purchased the Tandy 2000 MS-DOS 2.11 Boot Diskette with the Digi-Mouse and Clock drivers included. I don't have a working Tandy 2000 at the moment (I am currently working on that), but I should be able to make a copy on computer with a 1.2MB diskette drive using ImageDisk. I will be sure to upload a copy here and archive.org. Stay tuned!

Hey I used to sell a Tandy 2000 boot disk with the digimouse drivers built-in, but looks like my listing lapsed. I'll try to get to back up tomorrow. How are you testing under DOS?

Hey, yes DOS 2.11.03

Done.

Done.

Just curious how you're testing the mouse driver under DOS when you said it worked under Windows 1.0? I'd like to give it a try

I have at least two programs that you can use a mouse with: Microsoft Word and Microsoft Flight Simulator (which I got from you). In Word, no pointer shows up and in Flight Simulator, when loading the program, it asks if you want to use the mouse. When I type “yes”, it says “no mouse driver found”.

Ok so I tested my original boot disk, and I was getting the same as rmartin -- Flight Sim would throw an error that it couldn't find the mouse, and Word just wouldn't detect the mouse at all. So I tried the MOUSE.SYS file version from the Diagnostic disk that Eudimorphodon found and it worked! I'll be updating my boot disk to include this version of the mouse driver! I'll try to get this boot disk image put up on Github this week, I already have the pre-configured Windows 1.01 images up there.

 

[rmartin65]

All right, that's good news!

Got the diskette today and now the mouse works, in Windows and in DOS! Thanks to all of you who helped me with this, especially nullvalue!

Glad to hear it! I've uploaded the boot disk file in ImageDisk format to Github at: https://github.com/nullvalue0/Tandy-2000-MS-DOS-2.11-Image
