Dunno.....granted, it's the install_kernel for  sun3/50, but you'd would think
there'd be mouse support in that...no?

No idea :) The only place it might be useful is in X...and well, a case of
catch22 I'm afraid...this is the first time I'vetried to get X up on the 3/50
(not strictly true...but I'm concentrating this time ;) Most of my experience
is in RHL,
so I'm a tad lost with devices under netbsd..or more specifically..with the
sun3. The relevant section of dmesg reads thus;

>>>
zsc0 at obio0 addr 0x0 level 6: (softpri 3)
kbd0 at zsc0 channel 0 (console)
zsc0: channel 1 not configured                       **<<<--mouse???**
zsc1 at obio0 addr 0x20000 level 6: (softpri 3)
zstty0 at zsc1 channel 0
zstty1 at zsc1 channel 1
zsc1: enabling zs interrupts
>>>

Yes...it was.  I >believe< it works as I've been inside the rodent (as_per
Sun3 archives notes on this) to replace a deadLED and such...and it appears OK
(certainly, both LEDs light now ;)

I suspect the marked line in dmesg is telling me something, but have no idea
how to remedy this :^/

Anyone?

Cheers!
