...It sounds like UNIX is waiting for an interrupt from the mouse driver
...circuit card.

...You didn't mention...what interrupt line is your mouse set for?

I used "interrupt setting 2" which according to the LogiTech
installation manual is "extended interrupt" for an IBM AT.

...Is it the same as one of the other cards in your 386?  (If
...so...interrupt handler gets confused.)  

I don't see how it could be.  I've avoide the COM IRQs and the printer
#2 IRQ.  NO idea whatever else is being used.

...Is it a
...value beyond that of the standard "/system5" kernel?  If so, did
...you create a new kernel (using linkkit) to handle the higher value?

No idea if it's beyond the std kernel, and no, I did't create a new one.
 Can you point me to a p;ace I can read up on this, or perhaps you'd be
willing to mail me a short tutorial??
...
...A bit more information might help.
