  Someone mentioned a probelm with the "Mouse CDEV from Hell" that would not
save settings between restarts.
  This may sound wierd, but the only way I am able to solve this problem is
to boot my Mac Plus equivalent (512E with Dove 548S :) ) with a floppy (rather
than the usual hard disk) and reset the mouse speed with the Control Panel on
the startup floppy.
  When I restart my Mac using the hard drive (a MacBottom HD84), the settings
are "remembered".
  I think _my_ Control Panel finickiness arises from the Dove upgrade or the
MacBottom.  I don't know which.  I hope this solution works for a Plus user !
