A-HA!  I'm sure Windows is noodling with the IRQ's/IO ports, just for
laughs.  (I have my hardware set up so that 8-bit cards and hardware
ports are assigned by the computer at bootup, and Windows can't change
those assignments at runtime, preventing this sort of thing.)

OOPS!  Some folks <ahem> around here get censor-happy when I let out
little secrets like that one!  Best keep all this tech-talk to a
minimum, lest we confuse the newbies!  <g>

Glad to hear you worked a bit of magic with your mouse.

Best regards,
