  Talking about Win95 (and we mostly are FWIW), thereĞs the trick.  Due
to itĞs "The User would never need to know about that" design, it is
absolutely *not* possible to move a mouse IRQ.  Either it connects to
a stock-standard COM1 (IĞm not sure, it *might* find one on COM2) or it
uses a PS/2 mouse on IRQ12.

  Actually, since COM1 has a lower IRQ priority than COM2, you should by
preference put the mouse on COM1 and modem on COM2.  Or the modem on
IRQ10 which has the *highest* priority.
