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.
