Indeed it does. The reason being (and I'm sure you already know this Ian, but I mention it for information in case anybody else is interested) that when the mouse is connected, you *have* to read its port nine times before you can rely on the values you get from reading the keyboard's cursor keys. FWIW I was thinking about having a dialog[ue] box for specifying the Sam's hardware setup (number of floppy drives, extra memory, mouse, expansion port etc).
