Chuckle.  I like that. :)  I made some progress on getting multivue to work 
today, I think I have everything for it except a working mouse.  It will draw 
the screen and shows the mouse pointer at the extreme upper left, and of 
course its not usable.  If the keyboard mouse is valid, maybe, but I didn't 
spend a lot of time looking for the key combo that would do it.

I tried changing the address of joydrv_6551L.sb from FF68 where the base 
chipset in the rs232 pack lives, to FF6C where the extra chipset lives, but 
it won't boot, gets to i2xo and locks up tight.

I used ded on the OS9Boot file on that disk to change it back to FF68, 
verified the whole file, typed reboot, hit 0 and it worked just fine.

So the code in that module apparently does not handle the mouse's output the 
same as the code in my older setups did.

But its progress (I think).

And all that time doing the stress test under the gamma camera didn't find 
anything!  The ekg wasn't quite optimal, but no other clues fell out.  I hate 
it when that happens, cuz I still hurt.  Sigh..
