 This points to a bunch of drivers that should be removed.
 
 Certainly, "satlink" falls into that category:

 revision 1.1

 branches:  1.1.2;
 Satellite receiver driver for ISA cards from PlanetConnect by Jason and
 Herb for Canada Connect Corp.

 I doubt that anyone is using this device anymore.
 
 All of the "o" flavors of the legacy mouse drivers should probably get =
