The ZNIX mouse driver works fine on COM3. It also claims to use high IRQ 
lines but mine crashes on anything over 7.

Sorry, but I don't know where to get it. Mine came with one of my machines.

Try typing MOUSE/? at a dos prompt. You may find that your existing driver 
will work fine with the correct command line parameters.

Good luck.
