It is hardware related AND software related because the thing is analog and 
the software a/d isn't good.  The only cure I know of is to setup a serial 
mouse, which there are, or should be, drivers for in the nitros9 kit.  The 
driver sc6551L.sb is the one I rewrote just in the last couple of years.  
And it now no longer cares if the mouse is logitek or M$, it adapts when it 
sees the logitek only packet extensions 4th byte with the right data format.

I do not know if anyone has ever written a patch to rsbasic that would use 
it, perhaps someone else can fill that in if they are aware of such?
