I've been trying to fit a mouse to my Windows 95 / DOS machine. It has a serial port but thats it. I got a serial to PS/2 converter and a conventional ball mouse as to my understanding serial isn't able to power optical mice?
This has not worked. So i looked in the board manual and it has a USB header! I added a dual port USB to the header, enabled USB controller in the BIOS and legacy USB keyboard support yet still nothing.
What am i missing here? I am using the Windows 95 version with USB support. I have tried add new hardware it does not find a USB controller nor a mouse. Over serial to PS/2 is does detech a PS/2 mouse but upon installing drivers the mouse does not work.
Ideally I'd like to use a USB optical mouse on this machine as ball mice are a nightmare and i have large hands and need a specific brand of mouse to be confortable. That said though, PS/2 would suffice.
