Ill fortune has struck my s900. While manipulating PCI cards, one of the 
retaining screws fell down btween the pci slots and the back of the case 
and contacted something that caused the machine to start. I shut down 
with the power button on the front, but upon starting up(normally, via 
the keyboard power button) I seem to have lost the use of my mouse under 
MacOS. That is the strange part - upon booting into Linux, everything 
appears to function normally and both buttons work on my MacAlly 
two-button mouse.

I have tried two keyboards and three mice with the same results - 
keyboard functions normally and the mouse button works - but no movement 
of the pointer. Once again, under Linux everything works. I assume that 
I have borked the adb/cuda chip somehow by shorting it or a connection 
to it. My questions are:

Where is the little beastie located?
How hard is it to test/repair?
How would you procure a new/used one?

I seem to recall you mentioning in passing sometime in the distant past 
about scavenging one off of another motherboard for some nefarious umax 
surgery and was wondering if you could enlighten us again concerning 
this little piece of silicon.

TIA

Tom
