Yes, but there is no autodetection for a usb serial device + serial mouse. Plus, adding serial support is probably going to be fun, for some value of fun. > Windows copes fine with two mouses as well, in case you would still like to > use your other mouse there.

Two mice is not a problem. > Hm. /dev/cua/0 - suggest you're not using Windows :) No, and not Linux either. ;-D As far as I've asked/googled, serial mouse support is not a problem in risc os. I have a 3 button logitech serial mouse. I've already begun to look at the docs for FDC37C665GT as well as superio.c, curtesy of filth on #playpen, freenode. Right now I have only one question: What happens when the real UART doesn't support the same baud rates as the chip we're emulating? I just checked, and according to the OpenSolaris driver sources, my UART does not have all the speeds listed in the hw docs. It is safe to assume this will be the care for many real serial ports/UARTS out there. I'll be back with questions about code integration later. I'm sure. Oh and I should add, that my code will be unix only to begin with. I have wine with mingw, so I should be able to compile a windows version. It is not a priority for me though. And I have no idea how to access serial ports in windows. However, giving wine access to my serial port seems trivial, according to google. Testing on Linux will hopefully be trivial in my Linux zone.
