[Coco] Webpage Update - Hires Mouse

[Bill Pierce]

Nick, I noticed the bit1 problem while looking at the code. I think that can be resolved fairly easy :-)
 I guess it would need to be masked to keep rogue bits from going to the server. But also, I'm pretty sure that while the mouse is being read in OS9, DW comm would be suspended. Each process gets a slice, then rests. Dw does a COMPLETE interrupt block during transfers, so nothing's going to screw with it much anyway. I doubt many would be accessing a drive while trying to click on something...Only the old "no-halt" controllers could do this and even then, they were iffy.

And just one more problem to contend with and this effects both
NOS9 and 
RS-DOS...

Bit 1 of $FF20 is not currently being masked out during the
reads and 
that stuffs up Drivewire communications.
