Geez, all my previous ranting and raving and your site DIDN'T EVEN GET IT!  
ARGH!

Well, never mind then.  All I can say is to get the "Logitech Mouse Programmers
Toolkit and Reference".  It includes a wonderful reference (including low
level stuff -- ports, line conditions, byte stream, etc.), INT33H interface
code in ASM, C, and Mod-2, etc. and it is only 25 dollars.  Available direct
from Logitech.

If someone tells you to get the Microsoft Mouse PRogrammer's Reference, DON'T.
It's a piece of crap.  Period.  Doesn't cover different memory models, doesn't
do anything low level (the lowest it goes is interrupts -- which you can get
from Ralf Brown's interrupt list), spends over half the book talking about
using the mouse driver and mouse menus (whooptie-doo), etc.

The Logitech number is 1-415-795-0801
