Hello Gary

Assuming that you have an empty slot in the computer, it is possible
to buy a bus mouse and card to plug in. Then the CD will have the com
port to itself. I suggest checking that the card has Windows 3.1
software included.

ABRF,

I am having difficulty connecting a Jasco J-720 spectropolarimeter and a
mouse to my 486 DX 33 computerso that they are both functional. The
previous computer died and the old mouse was bus type. The new computer
doesn't support this architecture, so I must use the com ports. I think
the problem is with Windows (3.1) since I can access either the mouse or
the CD singly but not both together. I have tried changing the com port
addresses and interupts and installed new mouse drivers, but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
