 Use INT 33 AX=3, described in Ralf Brown's interrupt list (<Q:02.03>
 [What and where is Ralf Brown's interrupt list?]).

 The Windows manual says that the Logitech mouse is compatible with the
 Microsoft one, so the interrupt will probably work the same.

 Also, many files are downloadable from:

Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
