If your mouse attached to a serial port, sio? (where ? is 0-0) then it's device file is /dev/tty0? (again where ? is 0-3). I also setup a link from /dev/mouse to /dev/tty00 just for readability. Secondly since you have an inport mouse also, try MAKEDEV mse0 to make a new device driver for inport mouse. Lastly take a look at the MAKEDEV script, it does contain some info about the correct syntax to setup inport mice. Hope this helps, Mark Bynum bynum@cs.fsu.edu
