- Main board: Asus K7V
- Chipset: VIA KX133 (VIA VT8371 & VT82C686A)
Required Drivers
- Mouse: Logitech Wheel Mouse USB (Model M-BD58)
- Drivers: USB basic system drivers (usbbasic.exe)
- USB Mouse driver: <(usbmouse.exe)
- XR_D002 Base Device Driver FixPak released: <ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/DDPak/xr_d002>
- Scroll Mouse driver pak: (SCROLLMS.EXE)
HowTo:
- Install USBBASIC and don't reboot yet!
- Unpack XR_D002, find the same files installed by USBBASIC and overwrite them. Now reboot.
- install USBMOUSE and don't reboot yet!
- find in unpacked XR_D002 the same files installed by USB MOUSE and overwrite them. Now reboot.
- You'd have the mouse working now. Let's get the scroll thing to work: install SCROLLMS and reboot.
- Done!
The middle-button function does not work with this set of drivers. Maybe with that one, $paid$, from Software Choice...
This is a really nice hardware. The scroll wheel helps a lot, and not only inside a browser. Working on virtually any plain surface and not needing a pad (it is optical), this mouse is a relief to your hand and wrist.
