You want some more ram? If they are 30-pin simms I have a bagfull of 1

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.
