Hi. Ok, I have sat down and done a little research. The mouse is on
Com 1, sort of. When I boot in Windows 95, it does not seem to recognize
the mouse as being on Com 1, it is just "there". In Linux, the device
/dev/mouse is linked to /dev/ttyS0. The mouse is a Microsoft Serial
Mouse, version 2.1A. Is this too new for the driver to work correctly?
Is it possible that the mouse is not connected to Com1 or Com2?
Confused...
Larry
