I have my mouse on COM1: also and use OX.SYS without any problems.
I think DOS routes all output for AUX: and sends it to COM1: but
if someone traps output to AUX: and sends it to the MDA then the
COM port never gets involved and should have no problems.

OX.SYS is not part of the SDK.  It is just one of those things that
is floating around.  It is probably on cica.cica.  Look there.
