Gene,
I've always been frustrated the way my Coco's mouse jumps around as you 
described, and your description of how your serial mouse performs 
greatly interests me. However, I've always been very hesitant to 
implement your Serial Mouse mod because it requires some hardware 
modifications to my RS-232 pak and I don't trust myself to perform the 
mods correctly. I'm not very good with hardware mods.
