Humm, they can't co-exist?  Maybe thats where some of my memory is going.

And this is from the /t2 screen of my default dw enabled boot floppy.

Neither do I.  Does CoGRF support the mouse?  If not, then we also need a 
dummy placeholder joydrv because VTIO won't boot without finding it.  That 
would save about 3 pages of memory right there, freeing that db9 on my 
stacked rs232 pack for other serial usages, becoming a /t3 port. :)
