SUMMARY
When using the Microsoft Mouse with an IBM Page Printer, the mouse driver must use MOUSE.SYS rather than MOUSE.COM. To use the mouse with an IBM Page Printer, do the following:  Copy MOUSE.SYS from the Setup/Basic Menus disk to the MOUSE1 subdirectory of your hard drive.  Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (found in the root directory) and remove the following line:      /MOUSE1/MOUSE   Edit your CONFIG.SYS file (also found in the root directory) and insert the following line prior to the line that loads the Page Printer driver:      DEVICE=C:\MOUSE1\MOUSE.SYS  Reboot the machine. The mouse now can be used in conjunction with the Page Printer.

This information applies to the Microsoft Mouse Driver versions 6.00 through 7.04 for MS-DOS systems.
