You say that all the machines are using C&T chipsets, but my guess is that
you are mistaken.  The way that the pointer is done is by using the built-in
hardware cursor on Video-7 boards.  The one machine on which it works must
have a Video-7 (or OEM equivalent) board in it.

Being able to display that hardware cursor is completely independent of
the physical mouse itself, assuming that the mouse is in fact 100% Microsoft
compatible.
