I think so!

Question time:

Does the Comms IF need the 'modification' that has been mentioned every   
so often (Speaking of which - what is it? [1])

Will this work with normal PS/2 type mice as well?  If so then would it   
be easy to make a 9-pin -> PS/2 converter with said extra wire?

A few questions about the driver:

1. Is it a just replacement for the 'mdriver' mouse driver, or will it   
work with any mouse applications
2. Does the driver support mouse speed/acceleration?

This coupled with the PC Keyboard I/F would make moving my Sam into a PC   
case a lot more attractive.

Speaking of which, I remember seeing a bloke at the (now one before) last   
show - he had his mounted in a mini-tower.

How many things are left for a complete metamorphosis?
