Are there plans for setserial to apply to the bus mouse driver? I just
discovered that my bus mouse doesn't work under SLS 0.99 because the kernel
is hardcoded for IRQ5... mine is on IRQ2 (aka IRQ9). I plan to grab the
0.99.1 and 0.99.2 patches tomorrow and correct this, needless to say, but
recompiling the kernel every time just to get a working mouse seems a little
silly. (No, I can't switch the mouse to IRQ5; I'm out of IRQs as it is.
I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get my QIC02 tape drive
working, since it's currently sharing IRQ5 with a serial port --- they're
unlikely to collide under DOS, after all. The ultimate solution is to
replace it with an SCSI drive, but I almost fainted when I priced SCSI
peripherals....)
