Right now, I'm ready to put Win3 back in its box and ship >it to Microsoft, and stick to Win286 (at least it's usable). We have a screen card with a microsoft bus-mouse-port on, but no mouse that fits the port. On win286 we had exactly the problem you are speaking about. Our solution was to use a non-microsoft serial mouse. (Are microsoft trying to decrease their own sales of mice, or what?)
