This is possibly a reposting. I hope not. ------------------------------------------ According to Microsoft personnel, but not discussed at all in the documentation for their mouse, a jumper on the mouse board must be moved from two (the default) to another (preferably five). If this is not done, an interrupt conflict exists between the hard disk and the mouse. The result of the conflict is that a warm boot becomes impossible. By moving the jumper, the problem goes away. This is a PC-AT problem only!!! -- Jay Elvove ..!seismo!umcp-cs!jay

Some external disk drives for the PC exhibit the same problems. The Microsoft Mouse, though, was designed well enough to allow it to use a different interupt and not conflict with hard disks.
