I have a TANDY 1000SL 640K, 42 Meg HD, Kraft trackball (comm1),
a Vantel 1/2 card modem (comm2) and a MARS M-105 scanner. At this
point I have yet to see any scanned input.  I think the problem
may be a conflict getween the modem (Comm2 0x2E8) and the scanner
(com4 0x2EC - so the skimpy docs say).

I intend to experiment and remove the modem temporarily.  If the
scanner starts working, I will want to move the modem to serial
port Comm1.

Can a mouse/trackball and a modem share comm1 or maybe comm1 & comm3 ?
I can map the modem using switches to comm3 and my comm software can
use any port or address (software configurable).
