MicroSoft Bus Mouse & SimulTask-386

This is a similar question to the one posed by Dave Dykstra a few days
ago.  I have an AT&T 6386 and a MicroSoft Bus mouse with the InPort IC.
I just installed SVS Rel. 3.2 and SimulTask-386 (I want my DOS applications
also) on this machine along with many applications and utilities that I
use daily.  I currently do not have X Windows and FACE is too slow, so
I only need my mouse for DOS applications.  I used the Direct Device
Access utilities to create /dev/mse and the appropriate entries in vpixdevs.
When I boot DOS and install the mouse driver it returns the message that
the interrupt jumper is missing.  I tried both IRQ 2 and 5, without success.

Does anyone know how I can get this thing working in this configuration?
The AT&T Hot Line said that it was impossible, but I thought the purpose
of this DDA package was to use add in boards.  Can anyone help?  I don't
like the Logitech mouse.
