I have not seen (though it may have happened) any discussion regarding the mouse from Radio Shack. It (they claim) is compatible with the Microsoft mouse and sells for only $49.95. Is there anyone in netland that has owns one of these little bargins(?) or has had any experience with one? In other words will it perform adequately and is it worth the money. I remember seeing something on the net in the not to distant past that concerned ERSO bios. I seem to remember that the latest revision was the topic of discussion. I thing that that my clone is currently using something like ver. 2.23. What is the latest version? Is it advantageous to have the latest version? If so, how do I obtain a rom that contains it? My XT clone system is modest having turbo (4.77 and 8 MHz), 640K bytes, two 5.25 360K floppy drives, clock, parallel and two serial ports*, and monochrome graphics. Oh yeah, it also has a Seagate ST225 20M hard drive. * One of the serial ports is not populated, but I have the chips to do so. However, I have no way of knowing which of the level tranlators is to go in which socket. Any suggestions would be most helpful. The board is a multi- function one with parallel, serial, floppy drive control, game ports, and clock. Thank you for any help. Kevin Hoskins
