In those good ol' days, mouse.com drivers came with the mouse.
About five years ago. Btw. It's a little bit surprising that microsoft
still has the mouse driver on their site. They want DOS to die completely,

The mouse driver from microsoft, at least the one that comes with Quick
Basic 4.5 (Still a easy language, but _slow_) is a little bit buggy.
