It is a fairly old standard HP wheeled mouse.  Works fine with a win98
box and two linux boxes but the win2k box is having problems.  I need to
shut it all down and bring the win2k box up first to see if that makes
any difference.  Really funny thing is that I had the belkin working
fine but wanted to clean up the cabling and the Iomega looked like it
would do the job.  I think reseting and booting the win2k box first may
do the trick.  May get a chance to do that this week.
