Then you can have your modem on COM1 and your Yaroze on COM2. Personally, I think mice should have been standardized on the BUS MOUSE standard when it first was available years ago. All computers should have a dedicated (non-COM) mouse port. Or else, make a standard way for devices to share an interrupt. And more importantly, have people start *following* that standard! EdF
