Microsoft Home Mouse Serial
Microsoft Mouse 2.0. The first Mouse for the IBM PC was actually from Mouse Systems, not Microsoft. However, most clone mice emulated Microsoft's serial protocol and DOS driver software interface. The first application designed to make full use of the mouse was Microsoft Word for DOS, and they hyped a product called 'Microsoft Windows'. A Microsoft InPort bus mouse adapter, in the form of an 8-bit ISA (XT-bus) card. XA/XB and YA/YB indicate movement and direction based on quadrature phase. A bus mouse is a variety of PC computer mouse which is attached to the computer using a specialized interface (originally.
Windows 7 recognized USB GPS as a serial Mouse in Windows 7. Additionally, the tools Microsoft had released to combat this problem on the front end have not been released for Windows 7. So we have the choice, continue to hold the laptop rollout, or revert to rolling them out with XP. Neither option is ideal.

I've had a Toshiba T2100 laptop, manufactured in early 95 (May), before the release of Windows 95.
When I bought it, for a measly $25 Canadian, it had Windows 95 installed on it, so I whipped the hard-drive, installed MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1, as well as AfterDark (which I downloaded from the achieves, heck I got the DOS and Windows from the archives as well).
The problem is, it only has one PS/2 port, and it is dedicated to the keyboard, even when I tried CUTEMOUSE and plugged a PS/2 mouse into the port, all I got was a long series of beeps when I moved it or clicked a mouse button.
A few months ago, I did buy a Microsoft Serial Mouse, it is the 2.0A one.
I am having a lot of trouble finding a driver for Windows 3.1 though.
It has a monochrome screen, so hooking up a mouse is needed so that I can close the screen and use it as a desktop though the use of a CRT monitor and the VGA port.
I could probably solve a lot of problems with Windows 95's plug n play, but this laptop has a 486(DX) I think, may be an SX, the ram is only 20mb, plus the hard disk is 255.3mb. So it may be best to stay with 3.1. So, if I can, I'd think it's best to stick with 3.1,
P.S: Consider this a continuation of this thread from about 3 years ago: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6842
P.P.S: According to this, seems I should be able to upgrade:
System requirements for installing Windows 95:
Personal computer with a 386DX or higher processor (486 recommended)
4 megabytes (MB) of memory (8 MB recommended)
Typical hard disk space required to upgrade to Windows 95: 35-40 MB The actual requirement varies depending on the features you choose to install.
Typical hard disk space required to install Windows 95 on a clean system: 50-55 MB The actual requirement varies depending on the features you choose to install.
One 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive
VGA or higher resolution (256-color SVGA recommended)
I would however, like to stick with 3.1 still, because of the manufacture date, it must've been shipped with 3.1

*original title - Windows 7 + USB GPS becomes Serial Mouse = Bad News*
I know this has been asked quite a few times on here, and a solution has yet to appear, but since it has been awhile since the last time it was posted I thought I would see if any progress has been made.
Problem: Plugging in a USB GPS, or a serial GPS connected via a Serial->USB adapter causes Windows 7 to improperly recognize the device as a serial mouse, and since the data stream is rapid, the mounse pointer begins to jump all over the screen. In XP, disconnecting the GPS temporarily left behind the serial mouse in Device Manager, and disabling it there would then allow the system to be used again.
Unfortunately, in Win 7 when the GPS is unplugged the system immediately removes the device from Device Manager.
This switch turns off serial and bus mouse detection in the Ntdetect.com file for the specified port. Use this switch if you have a component other than a mouse that is attached to a serial port during the startup process. For example, type /fastdetect:comnumber, where number is the number of the serial port. Ports may be separated with commas. You can find the serial number for your Microsoft Band 2 or Microsoft Band on the box your Band came in. If you don’t have your box, you can find the serial number in any of these places: Microsoft Band 2. On the underside of the clasp on your Band.
Additionally, the tools Microsoft had released to combat this problem on the front end have not been released for Windows 7.
So we have the choice, continue to hold the laptop rollout, or revert to rolling them out with XP. Neither option is ideal.
Anyone have any ideas?
