Why not? If the port addresses are specified for each, it shouldn't matter.
Besides, it seems to me to be rather pointless to specify a com port for SIO 
when the mouse has ownership of it

I made the corrections you suggested, and tried a variety of virtual port 
addresses and IRQs, without any luck. I can see the port with SU, but Telix 
locks whenever it tries to access it.
 DG>> Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 #DC#> Use ZOC.
I'd prefer not to--my budget for shareware registration is virtually 
non-existant these days.
I suppose I could reinstall HA Lite, but I'd really rather not. I find it 
absolutely horrid.
