I have an early PC 6300 that has been upgraded to 1.43 PROMS and MS-DOS 3.2.
I have an early 6300 mouse (the kind that plugs into the keyboard).  With
it, came an upgrade chip for inside the keyboard, which I installed.  The
mouse software claims, I believe, to be 1.0.

I've used the mouse successfully with a couple of pieces of software,
including a version of MS-Windows for the 6300 and the PC-Layers software
(neither of which I use any longer).

When I try to use the mouse in QuickBasic, the mouse cursor moves around
ok, but garbage characters are input into the window, as well.  Is there
some dumb configuration option I need to use?  Or, do I have an obsolete
set of mouse software?  Or, should I just go out and plunk down $100 on
a real Microsoft Mouse?  (And, is the Microsoft Bus mouse ok in the 6300?)

Thanks a bunch.
