Sprinter website says that you can use Serial mouse in Spectrum compatible mode. How does this work? Is it kempston/AY compatible mode? Or does it have to be programmed specially for the sprinter?

It's kempston mouse in Spectrum compatible mode. All software that used kempston mouse will work without any special modifications.

I ise normal PC mous with my Sprinter. Everything works OK untill I turn on Spectrum mode. There are many programs with Kempston Mouse (they work on emulators) but noone works on Sprinter with PC mouse. What's wrong?

Anybody can suggest anything?

Just to let you know, it is not the same anonymous that started the thread - That was me : ) But i would also like to know the answer to his question..

Yes,
especially I found strange thing. When I load the newest version of PRO TRACKER - the mouse work!!! But it's the only prog I found, which works with mouse.
Everybody, please write - does the mouse works on your Sprinters in ZX SPECTRUM mode???

May be it's problem of highest bits of kempstone byte?
There are programs that don't mask it and use wrong value.

Some programs has "mouse on/off" option in its preferences.

No, it's not that.
Althought we cannot say 'the programs have been written badly' because they were working on other models OK. I think Sprinter's creator should have took it under consideration while making Kempston mouse in ZX mode.
