You should be able to use the mouse by setting the jumper on the
mouse board to use interrupt 2 (IRQ2).  I don't know of anything
on the AT that will interfere.  If you have more than two comm
ports then they will try to use interrupts 5 and 2, 5 is usually
used for a hard disk adapter, so 2 is the only free one.

On another note, there are comm boards that support multiple
ports on one interrupt, I don't know the brands.
