I bought a PS/2 model 30 (8086 CPU) which has to arrive yet and I'm thinking about buying a PS/2 keyboard and mouse set, relatively new. I didn't even know there were optical PS/2 mice. :wow:
Am I right in assuming that any keyboard will work flawlessly, but I need a DOS driver for the mouse (which doesn't exist)? If I need to use an old mouse that works with the "IBM compatible mouse" driver or something, I might look for that. The system is supposed to be used with a mouse, so... It would be cool to have a mouse for the DOS shell and all that stuff. :lol:
Maybe chances are higher that I could use a modern mouse with Windows. But it seems that I could only run Windows 3.0 in monochrome mode. Using another VGA driver it might be possible to run 320x200 with 16 colors, maybe even 256 colors. I might also test Windows 2.x.
