[Coco] Um3.init help needed

Who perchance is the resident expert on umuse3, as downloadable from RTSI?

I cannot locate a format spec for /dd/sys/um3.init, and my seriel mouse is 
not being detected or used by ubox3.  I have scanned the about 75 pages of 
docs included in that package, but it seems as if it is supposedly self 
generated, which obviously isn't possible if the mouse is not detected at 
all.

The mouse data packet is working as I have a little debug program that 
displays the l51defs portion of memory, and mouse motions and buttons are 
being updated when I move the mouse or push a button.

Also, its defaults seem to be interfering with the bit banger as dw is 
essentially dead.  But a reboot, restart of ubox3 and a / to select 
/MIDI.dd, and ubox3 now plays music on my linux boxes speakers, provided I 
use dw4's java synth, and not my sound cards synth.  Probably some diff in 
the hardware addressing I suppose.  I have a /dev/midi, but it doesn't show 
in the dwGUI menu's.

Anyway, if someone can decode the /dd/sys/um3.init file format for me, or 
PM me a copy of yours so I could see whats in it, I'd be thankful.

My current boot I believe is running out of memory to run umuse3, it starts 
to draw its screen, then does an exit, error 37, missing right ).  That has 
to be an OOM error because smap says I only have 5k system free after a 
reboot.  Its a 2 megabyte coco3 though.

Thanks & Cheers, Gene
