[DEMUG] Old style Mac Mouse

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

My question is: Why doesn't your USB Mouse/Keyboard when your platform 
is in OS 9 mode.
My postulation is that you have a USB card installed and when you are 
in OS 9 it doesn't function.
The reason that it works in OS X is that OS X has a lot of drivers 
(lots more than OS 9) installed therefore a lot more plug-in cards work 
in OS X!

So do this for use Sally, when you are in OS X, under the Apple Icon 
pull-down select "About This Mac" and when the window opens select the 
"More Info" button. Next select USB which is under "Hardware" and then 
under USB Device Tree, select the item that is your USB card.

Record this information and send it to us and we should be able to find 
a driver for the card that will work in OS 9.
