Moshi-moshi, Koniti wa.

I'm trying to find a quick and dirty way to over-ride the position of
the on mouse. What I'd like to do is to input data from the serial
port, and then use this data as the location of the mouse.

I don't really want to right a new mouse driver, I'm hoping I can just
write to a certain memory location to over-ride the mouse position.

Anyone know how I can do that? Do I have to fake-out the mouse driver
by changing the contents of the VIA? Isn't there just a low memory
global containing the mouse coordinates?

Thanks for your help, arigato goziamashita.

zaa mata.
