Title: Serial port mouse question
Post by: Invisix on December 06, 2007, 01:05:18 AM

Hey all,

It's been forever since i've used a serial mouse, so I have a question... does serial mice need special software to run in DOS/Win 3.11?

You need a mouse driver, but I seem to remember most mouse driver from that time could be configured for serial. One should not be hard to find, maybe even the FreeDos driver.
