Interesting footnote: the new Microsoft keyboard apparently does not
support DOS mode, as I discovered when I tried to boot from a DVD I knew to
be bootable. As soon as I put back the older keyboard (also Microsoft, but
with PS2 connection), voila! the DVD booted.

I should add for the sake of clarification that I now know that the DVD was
always booting successfully; it's just that my keyboard didn't work once I
got to the DOS prompt.

Commercial CDs were never affected - only the bootable ones I made.

I'm fairly confident at this writing that the basic cause of the problem
was having two completely separate driver sets installed for a single
mouse. Uninstalling the older Mouseman software before installing the
Setpoint software seems to have done the trick.

Crossing fingers,
