SUMMARY

IBM PC-DOS Version 4.00 has three special mouse drivers that only work with the DOS Shell: PS/2, serial, and bus mouse (non-InPort).

For bus mice with InPort, we recommend that you load the mouse driver that was included with your mouse (MOUSE.COM) and delete the following command line in the DOSSHELL.BAT that loads the IBM DOS shell mouse driver: 

   /MOS:PCMSPDRV.MOS
