To install the CyberMouse follow these simple guidelines:

Hardware

The CyberMouse comes with two cables attached.
First cable ends in two mini DIN connectors, a male and a female (They look like a modern Mouse/Keyboard plug). This cable feeds the CyberMouse with power.
Second cable ends in a 9way Sub D connector, and is the serial interface.

Hardware Installation

1. Unplug your mouse or keyboard and put the male mini DIN connector into the computer.
2. Connect the cable from your mouse or keyboard to the female mini DIN connector
3. Insert the 9 way Sub D connector into an empty serial port.

After doing this installation you should see the red led flash for a moment during startup of windows. (Does not apply to all versions of 95/98/NT!)

Software installation

The Cybermouse can work in either of two modes.
- Native mode (no drivers required/ like the BasicCard development software)
- PC/SC Mode, microsoft compatible and accepts all software which is using PC/SC interface.

I strongly recommend to use it with PS/SC drivers, unless you are able to do some very low level programming yourself! The disadvantage of using the PC/SC drivers is that programs using native mode can not find the reader!

The following software has to be installed to make it PC/SC compatible.

Serial Driver for the CyberMouse

PC/SC base components

You must install two files scbase.exe and smclib.exe.
You will find this files on this CD under /cyberm/pcscbase.
You do not need to restart between running them.

The serial driver can be fund under /cyberm/setup/serial/.

After correct installation the cybermouse will turn on during the boot of windows

Unstalling the Cybermouse and Drivers

The uninstalling can be a lot more difficult than doing the installation and should only be done Because you are confident in writing your own programs directly communicating with the reader through the serial port.

First run the respectively uninstal programs in ADD/Remove programs in the system.

If your CyberMouse still initiates during boot then run the Registry Editor, and remove all entries to following files ZCTSRSER there are at least 3-4 entries depending on version.

Programs for the Cybermouse

PhoneFile Light

Pipistrel makes a good free to download program which can be used for reading out the content of a GSM SIM card. It works very well, but you need to register it.

Download at http://www.pipistrel.com/phonefile

Smartcard Manager

A program for managing your smartcard readers, unless you have more than one cardreader this program has little value, except for the abillity to fool other programs to identify the reader with new names, and or disable the reader. The man writing the program is Polish, and has a web site where you can download it. He has also written a library of Delphi components which he used for making the smartcard manager.

Card Easy

A program especially made for the CyberMouse. Can read many different kinds of memory cards and smartcards. However You need to know exactly what you are doing as you are directly in touch with the commands to the card under the respectively ISO protocol.

Download at http://www.iccard.com.cn/crw/cybermouse_e.htm

Basic Card

All the programs for the BasicCard can also be used with the CyberMouse. Just download the latest version from http://www.basiccard.com/.

(remember to set the port to PC/SC in the menu of the debugger, then it will work with any PC/SC reader /writer.
