Sorry Randy, the ATT "versions" of the mouse and the tape controller
are the same as the retail versions sans ATT labels.  The Tape driver
works well with the Bell Tech, Wangtek, and Everex tape drives; the
Bus mouse driver works well with the Logitech hardware.  There
are no "Bell Tech - like gotcha's" in the ATT code.

Yes, they distribute the drivers with the hardware, but the disks can
be ordered seperately.
