I got a few good tips on this the other day, but I
need a bit more.

If I do a MAKEDEV mouse, or even a MAKEDEV standard,
how does MAKEDEV know to use sio0 or whatever?

My real problem is My comports are identified properly
at boot up, but I can't get anything from my mouse.  I
even bought a new mouse.
