Ooops, I forgot to fix this bug!  Thank you for reminding.

But, it is highly likely that this is NOT the cause of this wrong
message.

Some switch box product ALWAYS pretend that the mouse is a
IntelliMouse whenever it sees the host computer is trying to probe
IntelliMouse by sending a special command sequence to the mouse.

I guess the manufacture is assuming that since the host computer is
sending this special sequence of commands, some sort of IntelliMouse
driver is installed on the computer, and thus, the mouse must be
IntelliMouse (what a terrible assumption!)
