Using the Mouse Notes on the Microbee - ChickenMan - 13-01-2026
Thanks to DavidM for making this article available to be scanned. A4 in size and 11 pages long.
The article was written by Raymond Han for Microbee Systems back in May 1988 and appears it had been distributed to all User Groups at the time.
Up to now, only a small handful of programs use the mouse. This is due, mainly to the fact that Microbee Systems did not officially release mouse programming notes. This article has been designed to explain how a mouse could be implemented into your software designs.
It provided the Technical Specs for the Mouse, how it Communicates, Programming the mouse and using Extended BIOS calls. A full Z80 assembler listing of the simple Mouse driver for the Microbee is provided.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee/Documentation/Articles/Technical folder we placed
