I'm just hoping that the Power Driver has shows off a few out's to ports
or interrupts which one could play with. If you don't want to wade through
it yourself, you can send me the dumps and debug output and I'll see what I
can do. It might also be nice to get at the pen driver as well... a mouse
in DOS would be very nice.

Q1: Where would you get one of these manuals?
Q2: How much do they cost?
Generally, I perfer the debug method - cheaper. But maybe someone
reading this mailing list has a copy of it...
