The mouse is a bus mouse that plugs into an ATI Mach 32 Graphics Ultra Pro card. Start-up messages include mse0 at 0x23c irq 5 on isa. I've tried various mouse protocols in XF86Config (MouseMan, Busmouse, Microsoft). /dev/mouse is linked to mse0. I'm not sure this mouse is really using irq 5; IRQ 5 is used, I think, by the sound-blaster emulation part of the ProAudio Spectrum card. I tried booting with kernel -c and putting mse0 on irq 4. Then I get a message that mse0 is not probed because of a conflict with sio0. A serial mouse, protocol Microsoft, device /dev/ttyd0, on sio0, works, but I'd rather just have one rodent on the desk. 2) The computer hangs up if I try to get a listing of configured devices with lsdev and at some other odd times. 3) The computer does not reboot with /sbin/shutdown -r now. It syncs disks and hangs, requiring a hard reboot. 4) When I try to mount the floppy drives (/sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt) I get a message that the device is not configured. Start-up messages indicate that the floppy disk controller is found (fdc0 at 0x3f0-0xdf7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa) but no other messages; all the floppy devices are listed in /dev. The controller is a GSI 11 configured as the primary floppy disk controller. One solved problem--slip seems rather difficult to configure for negotiating IP addresses dynamically, but dip (Dial Internet Provider?) works quite easily. A new port in 2.1, I think. Very nice.
