A couple of things that should be known about the ESP Drivers released by HAyes.
First, they do not work microchannel based PS/2s without the ESP boards.  This is
caused by the implementation of the UART in VLSI chips and the ROM BIOS which 
standardize things which are not standardized in non-PS/2s.  

Also, the drivers a pre-release.  The final drivers are not supposed to be released
for Windows until around the 15th of May if I remember correctly.  This is because
not all the bugs are out and because the Micro Channel versin of the ESP board is not
yet available.

The drivers are not supported by Hayes for people that do not own a board.
