Buggy Mouse Interface



	Dumb question, but I'll ask anyway, since, well, I don't know.

	I have a Mouse Interface card I decided to test (since someone
wanted to buy it.)  I presume I just plug the thing in (Slot 4 rev.B //e)
and connect a mouse and individual software will take it from there.

	I dug up whatever mouse using software I have and tried things.
Flobynoid would lock up during the second disk access (before the
options screen.)  The one time I did make it as far as the game, it
didn't respond to the mouse. (And locked up when returning to options.
	Next I tried Balance of Power, no mouse option appeared.
	Finally I tried an issue of Softdisk, crashed on booting.
I thought I had a disk that went bad.

	Denying the possibility all my disks suddenly went bad I pulled
out the mouse interface and tried things again.  Softdisk booted fine.
Flobynoid worked without problem and I managed to clear about 2/3 of
the bricks having no control over the paddle. =^)  Didn't try BoP since
it wasn't bombing earlier.

	Seems this interface card is causing things to crash.  Any
thoughts?  Card seems too bulky to use as a cool bookmark.
