To load versions prior to 9 into upper memory you need to use
the devicehigh or loadhigh commands. However, even though the
mouse driver only uses about 15k, it needs over 30k to initialise,
half of which it then releases. Hence it won't load into 27k. You
have to either free up more than 27k or, if you're loading other
TSR's high, load them in a different order so that there is over
30k free when you load the mouse driver.
