For what it is worth, I recently picked up a Mouse Systems optical bus mouse (really bascially identical to the serial mouse, but with a rather flexible 8250 port board included). The included board has a short stubby second set of pins that allow use in either an 8 bit or 16 bit slot. In the 16 bit slot, one may use the extra IRQs that are afforeded by the AT-ISA bus. I have mine set to IRQ 15. At least that leaves IRQ 5 open for the second parallel port or, perhaps, a tape drive. I don't have X11, so I don't know how well the Mouse Systems mouse would get along with Unix. For the moment, the mouse is confinued to use in the MS-DOS modality of my machine. ==Bill== -- Bill Mayhew Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine Rootstown, OH 44272-9995 USA 216-325-2511 wtm@uhura.neoucom.edu ....!uunet!aablue!neoucom!wtm
