Installing a Mouse on a PS/2 Style Port

If you are attaching a Microsoft Mouse to a PS/2 style mouse port, choose Microsoft Mouse, Micro Channel Version. This choice will have the Setup program check for the type of machine you have, and will install the appropriate device driver.

Installing the BallPoint Mouse

If the BallPoint Mouse will be attached to serial port COM1 or COM2, make the same choice you would for a 400 ppi serial mouse. If the BallPoint Mouse will be on a PS/2 Style Port, then make the same choice as you would for any Microsoft Mouse on a PS/2 style port. Under all these choices, the BallPoint Mouse will work with the default settings (right handed). For more information on installing a BallPoint Mouse in OS/2, query on the words "Mouse BallPoint OS/2" in this Knowledge Base.

A choice to install a Microsoft Mouse during OS/2 1.3 installation will result in ONLY the Microsoft Mouse device drivers for that choice to be unpacked into the C:\OS2 directory. Choosing "None of the above" results in no drivers being unpacked, and no CONFIG.SYS lines added for the Mouse.
