subject: Mouse on com3 problems?

Quoting Don Woodall to Trevor Davis
 TD>Hi All,
 TD>I am running OS/2 2.1 and have a modem on Com1 and Com2 and a
 TD>mouse on Com3.
 DW> Trevor
 DW> It is my understanding that in OS/2, the mouse HAS to be on
 DW> COM 1.  Also, as has already been mentioned,  OS/2 loads the mouse
 DW> driver before it loads the com ports.  The mouse and com ports use
 DW> separate drivers.
Com 1 or 2 is what I understood..
 DW> Now for the fun part.  You can have TWO "COM 1's."  One for
 DW> the mouse, and one for the "COM Ports."  The TWO "COM 1's" must,
 DW> however, have different IRQ's and addresses.
Ewwwww
;)
