So I'm trying to make a modern 486. It's going great so far, but I have this old yellow junky AT keyboard and barely working serial ball mouse.
I know I can go for a PS2 to AT adapter and there are still pretty decent serial mice, but is there a USB option?
Do you need motherboard support for USB, or can you get by with just a driver? There appears to be some Panasonic driver that works in DOS but I'm not sure what hardware it is compatible with.
What I'm thinking of trying is that Panasonic driver with a retro PCI-USB card. High speed devices and mass storage aren't really what I need, but I would love a nice USB keyboard/ mouse or even the wireless USB dongle ones. It would really bring the computer into the 21st century!
I'm not running Windows 95 or anything. Just straight DOS.
