The Microsoft Mouse driver (MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS) totally supports not only
serial (COM1/2) mice, InPort (bus) mice, but also IBM PS/2 mice.

First, copy EXPAND.EXE from Windows disk 1 into your Windows directory, then
place disk 5 into drive A and type:

EXPAND A:MOUSE.COM MOUSE.COM for the TSR version

or

EXPAND A:MOUSE.SY$ MOUSE.SYS for the device driver

Use the Microsoft driver instead of the IBM one, and you should have no
problems.  MOUSE.COM can be loaded from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or from an
INSTALL= line in your CONFIG.SYS if you're using DOS 4.0 or higher, and
MOUSE.SYS should be installed in a DEVICE= line in your CONFIG.SYS.  Both
are supposedly equivalent, but I've run into some software that doesn't
like the MOUSE.SYS version.
