Aron, this is the status report of my AT using the PD Status.com program.
The AST board does NOT have a comm port.  This is very strange.  Is is a
long distance call for you to talk to Vincent?  If it is why don't you just
send him a copy of this file.

PROBLEM 1.  Mouse connected to COM1
            COM2 not functional for some reason.
