Ahh... I did not. I just tried to run the mouse driver but I can't figure
out the options. It says I must specify a mouse type. What are the options
for that?

Well, I'll let you know if this chipset works as soon as I get a mouse
server running and I try mgr again. :-)

Since you mentioned networking, what NIC's does VSTa support? I remember
seeing that ne2000 chipsets are supported. Any others? I currently have a
3Com 3c905 10/100 Base-T NIC. I also have cards with DEC and RealTek
chipsets I could try out. Are any of those supported?

Sincerely,
Sandro
