   I right by checking bit 4?  If I am then how do I know that it's not byte 2 or

   on PS/2 you check bit3 with TEST AL,8   
   but b3 would only show up set in byte2&3 when a motion is reported,   
   so there is a good chance to see only 1st byte have b3 set.   
      
   But it is a crap design anyway, if you move your mouse fast it may jump   
   because of false indication of the sync bit.
