Here's an interesting problem for ya.  We have a Zenith 320/SX machine here.
This particular model comes with a PS/2 mouse built into the motherboard.  We
are also running a Novell network (3.11) with SMC and/or Western Digital cards.
In this particular machine, presently there is a 16-bit SMC 10-base-T Ethercard
inside (although an 8-bit WD card replicates the problem.)

The problem:  Regardless of how the SMC card is configured, the PS/2 mouse will
not function properly.  After a few seconds of use, it behaves sporatically and
randomly.  The problem seems to originate with the packet driver we are using.
But, the strange part is, the mouse and the packet driver do not access the same
interrupts or port addresses.  I cannot find any overlaps anywhere.  (Well,
unless I use a serial mouse.  This "alleviates" the problem. . .and wastes a 
PS/2 port and mouse.)

So far Zenith's only response has been "why are you using packet drivers?"

Can anyone give me a thoughtful response?  Anything would be helpful.  (E-mail
is preferrable.)  Thanks.

Catch me later!
