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!)
