[OFFER] IBM PS/2 Mouse Program V. 1.10
Someone indicated their interest in this from the ebay hardware thread so here it is if anyone cares.
Came with my NOS original IBM PS/2 mouse.
Contents are
Three batch files, labeled "1", "2", and "IBMMOUSE" and the Mouse.com program
720k Floppy image (My USB floppy drive supports 720k, wow.)

I tested the mouse with my Windows 98 machine and it worked without the... driver? I don't really know what to call it but it seems extraneous. Love me some PS/2 stuff though.
Comments
Wow. All they included was an MS-DOS driver. Most other mice at least bundled a menu TSR and a test utility.
I was hoping it might contain their official driver for Windows 1.x. However, I'm guessing the original 1987 release probably wasn't much different from this disk.
There were a few other application environments, and occasionally mice would come bundled with updated or customized drivers for those (Including IBM OS/2).
Still, this disk being a later 1989 release, they would have already dropped any Windows 1.x driver had there been one.
Thanks.
Heh. All the disk does is copy MOUSE.COM to the system drive. They didn't even use a CHOICE command either; IBMMOUSE exits to the prompt and choices 1 and 2 are actually names of other batch files! Low-quality but smart.
