Some Leading Edge Computers (Model D3/SX) contain a built-in proprietary mouse
port. To use a Microsoft serial mouse on a serial communications port, instead
of using Leading Edge's mouse, you must disable the built-in mouse port.

Steps to Setup Microsoft Serial Mouse
-------------------------------------

1. Disable the built-in mouse port by moving jumper 15 on the motherboard from
  pins 1 and 2 to 2 and 3.

2. Connect the serial mouse to COM1 or COMx, where x is the COM port of your
  choice.

3. Check to ensure Windows is configured for the appropriate mouse driver
  (Microsoft or IBM PS/2 for example).

NOTE: There have been no reported problems with the Microsoft Bus Mouse
conflicting with the built-in mouse port.
