There is a bug with Logitech Bus Mouse in ALL XENIX 286/386 ALL releases:

	*** kernel mouse driver can't find mouse ***

I know, how to fix it (for code hackers only):

You must replace in file

	busmouse.o

function is_busmouse:

	is_busmouse(port)
	{
		return (inb(port + 1) == 1);
	}

instead of strange ridiculous code made by SCO programmers,
then replace this module in /usr/sys/conf/libio.a and, if it exist,
in /usr/sys/conf/vpixio.a
