Subject says all.

PS: One best benefit about 600 series is their dos mode sound driver includes sound blaster 16 pro emulation. :)

Cheers, thinkpadcollection

I'm using standard microsoft mouse.sys driver, and it works well for me.
I'm using the one from win98 SE CD

PC-DOS 6 and up include a mouse driver that works as well if you're looking for official IBM programming for some reason.

Long ago I had a IBM mouse driver that clocked in smallest memory footprint and that was around 1990 for PS/2 clunky mouse. Do one know what I mean and can I get this driver? I was not aware that is easy to use as "mouse" driver on thinkpads.

Thanks and cheers, thinkpadcollection

I'll need to look over the weekend, but I know what you're talking about. The mouse driver before DOS shell, so around '89 or '92.
