These > mice plug into COM2, right? Which serial device depends on where you plug it in. They are in the GENERIC kernel, yes, normally /dev/ttyd0 (COM1) or /dev/ttyd1 (COM2). If you are using COM3 or COM4, boot with -c and make sure that you properly assign the IRQ levels for the devices sio2 or sio3. They canNOT share their IRQ with sio0 or sio1, so you can't use the default IRQ of most cards. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
