Hi:
    I've got an ATI VGA wonder XL card, w/ a bus mouse.  Is there a driver
    available to support this?  I tried the bus mouse driver by
    fcawth.delphi.umd.edu, but have had no luck getting the mouse going.

    The instructions in the README had the mouse configured for irq 9, 0x23c.
    My mouse is configured for irq (through vinstall, a vendor supplied dos
    program).  I tried irq 9, it didn't work.  I tried irq 2, no luck either.

	Is the 0.1.2.2 kernel supposed to fix the heavy I/O load bugs?   Because
	my machine still crashes with great regularity under heavy NFS traffic.
	Any sort of compile will crash the machine after 10-12 files.

	Any ideas?

    Matthew
