Does anyone know if it is possible to have two mice with WinUAE. Some pages talk about patches from "Andreas". If it is how do I configure WinUAE and/or Windows to enable this feature?

//admin: please don't use direct signature in your post, configure your UserCP (http://eab.abime.net/usercp.php?s=) instead.

Oops, but definitely not me. :D
If they're really talking about me, they might mean that I found a bug in 0.8.21 R1 port 2 mouse emulation. But I don't think they're referring to me. I'm not so vain <grin> ;)

Maybe not, I found this qoute on a Newzealand WinUAE mirror (possibly outdated).

I just wondered if this is still marked "todo" in 0.8.21 or it is completely skipped?

BTW: why is it disallowed to use direct signatures? space or because registered users should at some privileges? :-)

It is just unneccesary to add a direct signature to each message since it is redundant (especially for those that don't have the need to see it). For those that want signatures, all they have to do is go to the UserCP and add one there. Then the user has the right to choose whether they want to see them or not. Direct signatures don't have that kind of flexibility, so the current system really is more practicle.
