I have a microsoft mouse (bus version) located in slot 5 with 
the jumper set to irq2.  It works fine with all graphics
software I use (PC paint, Smalltalk/V, etc) except MS windows.
When I try to run windows, it "greys' the screen, rumbles for
a few minutes and the pops up an alerter "error reading drive c:"
(or drive a: if I've built it to run on a floppy.  Has anyone
seen this type of behavior before ?   If I build MS windows to
run without the mouse, it all works fine. 

                       Thanks,

                          Geoff
