	I think you may be on to something. I seem to recall the early days of
the mouse on the PC there used to be problems with baud rates. As I recall
anything above 9600 was fine. It might be cool to see the GS with two
mice. Since the PC mice are serial devices (the "S" in USB) I see no
reason why it wouldn't work in theory. Perhaps the problem with the SSC
could be related to it allowing one connection instead of the three
available on the backplate. Since there were mice available which didn't
use the ADB connector, it seems logical there would be drivers for them in
GSOS.

	Partial success is always a good sign. Now if I can figure a way to
connect my wy50 terminals to a GS and have them both running at the same
time. ;-)
