I just got a Seiko 1430 monitor and Orchid Prodesigner which will do
up to 1024 by 768. Of course, this is a non-standard mode and you need
special drivers.  One way to take advantage of this seemed to be to
run MS windows, since the Orchid came with a windows driver. 

When installing MS windows 2.1 (which is a royal pain if you want to
change anything about your configuration), I put in the special Orchid
driver and windows itself seems to work fine. 

However, my Logitech serial mouse only works for a short time and then
the machine seems to become deaf to the mouse. I have tried both the
standard MS windows logitech mouse driver and the logitech software,
including their mouse.com, their mouse.sys and their lmouse.drv,
individually. (i.e., not all at once)

Before spending a lot of time trying to talk to customer support, does
anyone have any ideas about this? This mouse has worked flawlessly
with MS Word and Orcad, and I also swapped with a mouse that is known
to work with windows on a different machine. (I don't know how windows
was installed on the working machine. It has a nonstandard controller
on it so I can't just copy the software.) The mouse is on com1.
