I do still want to install Microsoft Inport BUS mouse in any interrupt other than 1 - 7 for my 386/xi 2.0.2. I have NO room between interrupt 1 and 7 but I heard someone is using interrupt 12 for mouse. If you know the answer, please include file in /etc/conf/sdevice.d so I can right address as well as interrupt number. I would include how to change jumper on BUS card (this is important or I would get PANIC error message). *** Be sure it is MICROSOFT INPORT BUS mouse ***. It works fine with interrupt 3 and 5 but I have to give up for com2 ports and tape drive and that is why I have no more room between 1 and 7. Willy

The way I made extra interrupts available was by moving the interrupts on my parallel cards to 11 and 12. This freed up interrupts 5 and 7 to use with other devices (like a mouse). However, I had to do a hardware patch to the parallel boards to redirect the interrupt signals.(actually, I had an EE friend do the rewiring to my specs). I don't believe that most bus mouse cards are able to generate interrupts on the upper bus with any jumper position. If you are interested in more details on how I got this working, send email and I'll go into more detail. -- Steve Izen: {sun,uunet}!cwjcc!skybridge!izen386!steve or steve%izen386.uucp@skybridge.scl.cwru.edu or izen@cwru.cwru.edu "My second bike is a car."
