At home I have a 486DLC-33 with 8MB RAM, 200MB HD, and an ATI VGA WONDER XL
(with the included mouse).  All that I know about the monitor is that it is
a Loop Multisync and it is in color.  The video card has 1MB installed.

Using VideoModes.doc I am able to get 800x600.  Does anybody have the specs on
this monitor?

Secondly, I can use the DOS test program and the mouse works fine, but the 
busmouse driver off of agate.berkeley.edu does not seem to work with it.  Does
anyone have a driver for the mouse that comes with the ATI...XL? or the docs
for this card's mouse port?

In another topic, I am running the com ports at 19200, but I am moticing
SILO overflows and also missing characters.  I looked through the source
(I have the stock driver that comes with ksrc NetBSD), and saw that it would
get printed if the SIO had an overflow condition.  This would occur if the 
system did not respond to the IRQ fast enough.  I have been looking through
various FAQs ftp'd from various sites, and understand there is a new com
driver due to be released.  Is this already out there?

Thanks for your help,

Kevin Johnson
