connect other serial devices you may want to compare their requirements as well.

You can usually configure your computer to be compatible with your printer by using the printer’s documentation. Also, the MODE command lets you set up the computer’s parameters.

Whichever method you choose, the computer and printer settings must be compatible.

More information about attaching a serial printer and using the MODE command is contained in the MS-DOS documentation.

Connecting a Serial Mouse

You can use any serial mouse with the computer. A serial mouse requires only software and a physical connection to the computer.

To connect a mouse to the computer, you need a cable with a 9-pin connector to attach to the computer’s serial port. If the mouse’s cable is not compatible, see your dealer for a cable adapter.

The mouse has a driver program that you must add to your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Refer to the mouse’s manual for information on the driver program and on proper serial port settings.
