I just needed to share this with all you guys.
Recently i've been offered this mouse.

It's the first one i see using the serial port being a laser mouse and it works like a charm with ms-dos and the cute mouse driver.
What a find 😊

Does it not require a special mousepad?

Yes it does. The package brought one with a reflective Surface.
