Shapiro) Organization: Bunker Ramo, an Olivetti Company, Shelton, Ct Lines: 25 I own a PCs Limited AT, the original, no speed switch, case just like an IBM AT. In general I have no problems with this machine, but I recently ran across one. I can't get a mouse to work via a mouse driver. I CAN get MS windows to work, but windows knows about the mouse directly, not via mouse.com or mouse.sys. I have tried a TANDY serial mouse, a MS serial mouse, and a MS bus mouse, all with the same results: windows OK, other software (Multiplan, PC-Paintbrush, etc) NG. I suspect a bios incompatability. Is it possible to correct this with a TSR or something? Has anyone got any experience in this area? I have called Dell, they are real good at taking my phone number down, but not at all good about using it. Thanks in advance. -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Joe Shapiro "My other car is a turbo...
