Werll, it arrived a few days ago and I assembled it earlier today.  It
doesn't work, sigh.  The problem may be something simple and I am hoping that
one of you can offer some useful help before I lug up an osciloscope and go
to work ...

Simply put, I start up SID Test Util (from the original SID package) and the
mouse freezes once I get by the startup dialog.  If I unplug the SID, the
mouse unfreezes and I can work normaly.   If I plug the SID back in, freezup
again.  If I am in finder, the SID has no effect on the mouse, pluged in or
not.  The serial port is still healthy (I am using it to type this) so the
problem is elsewhere.

  Any ideas?  Please send responses to this account AND to
yossie@lakesys.lakesys.com as marque.mu.edu is very very sporadic at
receiving mail!

Thanks in advance - Yossie

P.s. one thing I may not have mentioned is that I am running with a MacIIci
and System 6.0.5.  There are also tons of INITs in use.
