When it comes down to it, you don't even need the mouse. You can control the mouse pointer using the keyboard like on a classic Amiga.

Back to the Efika: Is there no other way to install MorphOS2.1 on to my Efika? I have a USB to 44pin IDE adapter, will that work? I think I will go try by attaching a 4GB laptop drive to it and transferring the MorphOS2.1 file to that and then plug the adapter into the Efika. Wish me luck.

The harddrive that you install MorphOS on needs to have RDB and FFS/SFS instead of PC-style MBR/FAT/etc. That makes it complicated. But maybe...

1) put the boot image (the ~12MB file) on the HDD using PC
2) attach it to the Efika and boot
3) copy the contents of the boot image to RAM
4) repartition the harddrive
5) copy the stuff from RAM back to harddrive
6) run the wizard, download the full installation archive, finish the install

It might work if you could do it all within 30min.
