Is there a NT4 driver for a dell USB optical wheel mouse?

Dan Neely

I've just got an MX610-lefty for my main PC, and tried moving my old mouse to my NT4 testbox to replace the crufty ps2/ball mouse it has currently. The mouse wasn't recognised via the USB port or using the MX610's USB-PS2 adaptor. IS there a driver out there somewhere, or am I stuck with keeping all my antique hardware together.

I don't know of any NT drivers for any optical wheel mice, let alone Dell's.

If it's NT4 the best bet is to get a USB->PS/2 adapter.

The tigress is here :-D

It won't work with the adaptor that came with my new mouse for some reason. That was the 2nd thing I tried.

NT 4.0 doesn't do plug-and-play and for that reason, doesn't do USB. (OK, it does a limited ISA plug-and-play.)

Dan, Did you already got a USB driver for NT4 on a Dell PC? If not, here is driver that I've used on my old Dell Optiplex GX1 with NT4 operating system. I've used it with my USB flash drive. :) http://ftp1.us.dell.com/utility/R62200.exe[^]

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
