I'm using a mouse in a program written in TurboC++.  Everything
works fine on PCs using Logitech and Microsoft mice, even with Hercules
mono video cards.

However, an IBM bus mouse on a PS/2 is not detected.  Does the PS/2
do mouse stuff differently?  I'm using interrupt 0x33 to interact
with the mouse device driver.

Thanks,
