|Hi Again,
"Logitech"| protocol is for old serial mouse models from Logitech.
Modern Logitech mice use either |"MouseMan"| or |"Microsoft"| protocol.
1. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel, it may be compatible
with the |"IntelliMouse"| protocol.
2. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel and it doesn't work
with the |"IntelliMouse"| protocol, you have to use it as a
regular 2- or 3-button serial mouse.
