Microsoft Home Mouse, finally in my home!
So it came in today, unused apparently, as the box seems in good shape and the baggy with the floppies is unopened (not cut open with scissors as instructed). Comes with BOWEP.
I want to keep the box and everything in the best shape possible, although I still will be using the mouse with the Toshiba t2100 - the one without a ps/2 mouse port.
I know BOWEP is on the archive so that's good, but I'm gonna need to locate drivers for the mouse, and the intellipoint software as well. Shouldn't take too long, I think.
I do not want to ruin the seal on the floppies, because there's no way to reseal that shit.
P.S: I'm the most important person at Micrososft! :P

The back three standing up are all the same except the lower right which was released pre-Windows 95 days.
The packaging for my Home Mouse which came after yours at some point, and when the wheel was introduced with the IntelliMouse.
I did open the packet but then taped it closed again after installing the software.
It won't work, but it does with the track point, maybe I need to disable it, but I do not know how.
But the T2100 won't pick it up on the serial COM1 port.
Doesn't seem so, doesn't say there are any resource conflicts.
the t2100 has a monocrhome monitor though, so if the port is really bad, I will have an excuse to buy another laptop from the 3.x era, and this time I'll make sure it has colour!
I loved those wheel mice.
I just needed to install generic serial drivers found with 3.1.
Apparently, drivers weren't on the floppy disk, just the intellipoint software, for 95 it's plug and play, for 3.1x you need to use generic serial mouse drivers.
