Slik Stik Tornado Spinner doesn't work in DOS - UPDATE saved by Oscar Controls!
maraxle:
I'm trying to run a Slik Stik Tornado spinner under either DOS 7.0 (Windows 98 GUI-less) or FreeDOS with no luck. I am running it in PS/2 mode, since that's all DOS will support. I have tried CuteMouse 1.6, CuteMouse 1.9.1, CuteMouse 2.0, and Microsoft Mouse drivers with it. Unfortunately, regardless of which driver I use, the system either freezes completely or slows down to the point where it registers keystrokes after about a 3-5 second delay.
Has anybody else run into something similar? Any guesses as to what the problem could be?
Oh, and by the way, other PS/2 and serial mice, including a Happs trackball using the Happs encoder board work fine on this same system...

If I remember correctly, I had a problem w/ it with pure DOS.
I was goin gto use the PS2 Slick and get myself a diff Trackball (which is using PS2 also) and an Opti-pac so I can have Slick in PS2 and Trackball in serial/optipac, but problem with SLICK in pure dos so I decided to hack ihack SLICK and make into a serial and leave my trackball alone. I am using Cutemouse as the driver.

Nothing, yet. I wouldn't have asked here if I already had the answer... :P

Hmmm... Still no reply from Slik Stik. Also, I tried it with another PC, and had the same problem.
