Okay, I had my a failure on my original motherboard dealing with the
onboard IDE 
Rather than spend the money to get a new MB + processor
(I was using an old Cyrix P200 MediaGX machine), I pulled out my
ancient dual PPro MB.
Much better performance (there are currently two 333MHz PPro Overdrives
on the board) - even though I’m not yet using both CPUs. Biggest issue
is that this is an old AT style board - NO PS2 mouse port
I’ve attached a serial mouse, but I can’t seem to figure out how to
make it go. Is it supported? Must I reinstall? Any hints??
Thx,
jerry
