I recently started using a 2386sx Bridgeboard with a Cyrix accelerator chip. I had some real thermal problems — BB locking up after a hour or so of use, mysterious crashes, etc. Attaching a heat sink with attached fan seems to have cured that problem. Now another problem I've never noticed before is annoying me. I use the AMouse PC mouse emulator. If I use a single mouse and keep it switched to the PC for a while, the mouse freezes on _both_ the BB and the Amiga — I cannot switch the mouse back to the Amiga and the BB mouse pointer is irretrieably stuck. I can unfreeze the Amiga mouse by sending the AMouse task a break, but the PC mouse remains frozen. Anyone had any similar experiences and (I hope!) an explanation or solution? Strangely enough, I I plug in another Amiga mouse to the second mouse/joy port to use under AMouse and do not swap a single mouse, the BB mouse freeze doesn't happen. Darron
