### Disable_Device

This request is used by MOUSE$ when placing a pointing device in a disabled state. Upon completion of this request, no Process_Packet or Process_ Absolute requests are to be made to MOUSE$ until an Enable_Device request is received. There is no requirement that the hardware itself be disabled, only that no Process_Packet or Process_Absolute requests be issued. Receipt of a Disable_Device request is not considered an error if the pointing device is already disabled.

Input: AX = Disable_Device function code, 0005H.

Output: No specific output for the request.
