the box even if you don't have a free ISA slot to shove a bus mouse card

Actually, I am short of serial ports. I have 2, one is used for the
printer (Apple LW2NT), the other for either the modem or whatever I want
to link to the machine (like my HP handhelds, EPROM programmer, etc). And
yes, I am out of ISA slots too...
