I have keyboard working but no mouse in Windows. I only have that old DIN port - no PS/2 port at all. So I am not sure how to get my mouse going. Was hoping USB could work via this PCI card?
It also could be nice to move some files via USB-stick even though slow.
A socket 7 motherboard likely has pins near the keyboard port for connecting an external PS/2 mouse port on a slot bracket. If you go that route, be aware that you usually have to move wires around to match the pinout of your motherboard as they were not standard. Lacking that, people would have used a serial mouse but most are unwilling to do that now since they are all ball mice or an old-school optical that uses a special mouse pad.
Yeah, perhaps USB will get your mouse going now that someone found the driver.

Was thinking 95 would be more lightweight for a 166 mmx machine. Maybe better compatibility too? I have a PIII tulatin with Windows 98 and 2000 and thought this would be more era-correct etc.
Nice, makes sense if you already have a Win98 machine. To me Win95 has leaner interface/fewer default settings to revert 😁 (I don't like gradient titlebars, don't like animated menus popping around and such, etc.) and better sounds before they messed with them in 98. And it installs so much faster.
