Don't use it if you have a serial mouse!  PS/2 mode is safe.

There is a bug in that release which crashes the system when entering 16 colour
video modes when there is a serial mouse attached. 

This bug has been fixed, but the fix is not available just yet.

Since webspyder only ever runs in 256 colours or more, the demo will never be
affected by the problem.
