I went through this same search myself a few months back, I dont think there is one

The other problem is I don't know which programs would even support scrolling, given how old this Windows is. Anyone know?

When I was still using Windows 3.1 on a daily basis, I always wondered what the third mouse button is good for.
You know, the one in the middle. Which nolonger exists these days, because of the wheel which took its place.

I dont think Win3 would even know what to do with scroll wheel events.

check vbados with windows drv driver

It definitely still exists - you can click that wheel as well as roll it. Default binding in Firefox is to open link in New window - something I use all the time.

Er, but not in WfW3.1

Looks like this isn't going to matter for now - sadly, the hard drive crashed.

DOS still boots up, but most of the files are returning a data error.

I will have to see what can be recovered and build a new system.

Found a spare 1.7GB drive already formatted for DOS 6.20, copied over most files from the old drive. DOS worked although a few corrupted files needed replacing.

Windows was completely screwed and had to be reinstalled, followed by the various network, video and sound drivers. Some existing apps such as Acrobat and Winzip worked immediately without needing installing. Didn't bother with reinstalling Office or Netscape.

Tried many more mouse drivers I found here and there (including the suggested vbados), but still no scroll wheel action. I guess it just isn't possible, or I don't have any apps that know how to handle the wheel.

Still need to install win32s and a few other minor things, but it's mostly recovered now.

For the record, the A4tech driver at
https://archive.org/details/a4tmousedriver
seems to work in 3.11. , scrollwheel included. This at least on VirtualBox as well as dosbox-staging.

I didn't have any luck with other versions of the same driver as they seem to have a strict check for a4tech hardware.
However the version on that link has a simpler check and it will work with practically any wheel mouse.
The only inconvenient is that, since it still uses the a4tech protocol, if you scroll "too fast" it will be misinterpreted as a horizontal scroll.

VBADOS also definitely works, but as we discussed in the VBADOS thread, for WfW (or any non-real mode windows) it requires a patch to VKD.386 that I have been trying to get rid of to no avail.
