Scott -
What about the APM-related problem which reportedly caused the mouse to
quit working following suspend/resume? Didn't the author of RODENT.SYS
state that this is a known problem for which he has no intention of
providing a fix?
Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to minimize what you've accomplished
in striving to get this thing working. In fact, I'm really quite
appreciative both for your efforts and the info you've provided to date.
It's just that I consider the RODENT.SYS experiment generally unsuccessful
if it results in a conflict between the mouse driver and the machine's
APM functions.
