- I've been trying to free up a COM: port by switching to a bus mouse.
- The bus is on a Sota VGA card that supports IRQ2-5 and address ranges
- of 23C-23F and 238-23B. I tried installing it as a MS bus mouse, but
- it didn't go.
-
- The "tech" at IBM kept giving me COM: addresses and IRQ's, and I kept
- saying that I'm using a BUS mouse. We didn't understand each other.
-
- Any advice? I'd love to get that COM: port freed up for the UPS.
-
- Thanks!

- P.S. I tried to find the FAQ at hobbes in 2.0/info, but I didn't see
- it. Sorry if this is answered in the FAQ file.
