Well, as someone else suggested, put the mouse on COM1. If you need an adaptor because the plugs don't fit, I have a bagfull of those as well... IIRC, the comport utilities can reassign IRQs. Also IIRC, I think you find them here: http://www.comminfo.com/. Also, I might have an 80387 co-processor for you, if you want it. Regards -- Gregor Jones mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston MA
