Hi, I recently tried to install Windows 1.0 DR5 in DosBox but it requires a serial mouse! I heard that DB can emulate a serial moues but how? Cant even find one on GOOGLE and BAIDU and YAHOO! How to do it?
Thank you!

    Dosbox is a Dos emulator for gaming. Granted you can do workarounds to run different OSes but I doubt you could get Windows 1 to run out of the box since the DOS kernel is based off of MS-DOS and PC-DOS 6 and last I checked you need DOS 3 or lower to run it. Just use vbox.

    VBOX does NOT support serial mousing!

    For Windows DR5 I'd suggest PCE, or MESS. PCEm might also work. Those emulate Microsoft serial mice as well as Mouse Systems serial mice.

    I don't know why DOSBox refuses to add serial mouse emulation.

    But how to mount a IMG in PCE?

    I use PCEM v0.3 for Windows 1.00 DR5 and Windows 1.00 Alpha and they do work on PCEM. You need MS-DOS 2.11, Generic XT BIOS ROM to run on PCE or PCEM.

    This link is how setup Windows 1.00 DR5

    It's been a while since I have got Windows 1.0 to get working in DOSBOX. I had success, however; running Windows 2.03 in Dosbox just by changing SETVER in a batch file then starting WIndows 2.03

    If I remember there is a TSR DOS driver that converts PS\2 protocol to serial. If memory serves me right it was called MouseKeys and also there is a TSR called Mouse2keys that replaces the mouse altogether with keyboard commands. Also I think with CuteMouse you can change the settings to USB to output as a serial mouse protocols.
