Yes, it does have such a mouse but I still need both serial ports as I
have a good many things connected to my computer.  Use it for genealogy,
photography and my sewing machine.  Micron told me it was possible to
change the IRQ to enable both but not how to do it.  I have had a Micron
since the P90 was the top one and loved it.  So when I got ready to get
a new one, I bought Micron partly because their tech support was so
great.  They helped me with everything then but no more!  And I just
ordered Microns for my son's business too!
