Some CIA timer registers (sorry, I forget which) were set incorrectly, which prevented the timer device from functioning. The most noticeable consequence was that double clicking was screwed up. Perhaps you have the same problem, only in hardware. :-) -- Dan Babcock

I've noticed this problem happening in I guess what you can considered the newer modification to the 1352 mouse or whatever the number is.... well, the one with the steel ball. The contacts on the thing are really bad.... if you've got the mouse with the taped on contacts, peel the tape off and squirt some audio/video type cleaning solution onto the contacts and take a cotton swab and really scrub the thing.... I haven't had problems since... and when it does arise, I just do the procedure again and the mouse works fine... I dunno about CIA chip though... Victor

As it turns out, it was the 8520 CIA (at U300) that was at fault. The keys to the diagnosis were the system clock was stopped, and when I switched the two CIAs the mouse clicks on an icon in the WB mode caused a lockup. So I switched the U300 chip and all is fixed. Thanks much to those who replied with suggestions... 0 | \ ________Scott Busse /\_^_| |__ /_________CIS 73040,2114 `__ ----- \____/___________a763@mindlink.UUCP /\ _|_ \____________uunet!van-bc!rsoft!mindlink!Scott_Busse
