Hi all,
I’m restoring a Windows 98 Second Edition PC (Spanish-language install), and I’m having trouble getting any USB mouse to work.
What I’ve tried:
* A passive USB (male) to PS/2 (female) adapter (the green plug)
* An active USB-to-PS/2 adapter
* A PS/2 mouse (model: WYZEMO42KQP) — no luck with that either
* Multiple corded USB mice
Win98 SE doesn’t recognize any of them. The Device Manager shows either “unknown device” under USB or nothing at all.
❓ What I need:
* A working copy of NUSB33.EXE (unofficial USB 2.0 driver pack for Win98 SE)
* OR a driver that adds USB HID mouse support for Spanish Win98 SE
The driver must be small enough to fit on a floppy (1.44MB) — no CD or IDE on this system
⚙️ Setup notes:
System is real hardware (not a VM)
USB is enabled in BIOS
Only way to transfer files is by 3.5" floppy disk
I don’t speak Spanish, but I’m navigating with translated guides
If you can share a floppy-friendly version of NUSB33.EXE or point me to a working USB HID driver, I’d really appreciate it. Bonus points for any known-compatible USB mice or adapters.
Thanks in advance!
