Hello everybody.

I've had the same problem and solved it in the same way a few years ago, but 
discovered that the mouse pointer 'skipped' pixels.
I mean by this, that when I moved the mouse ONE pixel, the mouse cursor moved 
TWO pixels. This was only in the X-direction, not the Y-direction.
It could be a software problem (it was one of my first programs), but I'm not 
sure.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I sure hope there's a better way than just reading the ports, because that 
really is no fun!
(I just used interrupts)
