Or Ian could now install Bruce Isted's serial mouse support (in MOUSE.AR). I'm
using a Logitech mouse on one of my CoCo3s and an Impression Mouse (which is a
Microsoft-compatible) on another.  The problem of loosing IRQs during mouse
movements goes away when the serial mouse is used instead of the Hi-Res
adaptor.
         I have no IRQ hacks on either of my systems, but now have the freedom
of using GSHELL+ or any other mouse-driven software while doing uploads or
downloads from BBSs or other services.  I have had NO lock-ups due to IRQs that
were lost due to mouse operations since installing Bruce's Serial Mouse
Drivers.

Incidentally, I use multi-port seral cards on both of my systems, so I'm able
to run multiple serial applications simultaneously and the mouse drivers, too.
