Is it possible to use a USB mouse on DOS

**** IntelliMouse Explorer, you are not worth the trouble.

It depends. 99% of the time no. The reason. USB needs windows to run (or mac I guess). The 1% (maybe more, but I haven't heard of it) are people like me with the EPOX 8K7A. I'm not sure how it works, but their is a feature in the bios that allows my USB mouse to work without windows! It's really awesome! One other option is getting a USB to PS2 converter. My optical mouse came with one (Logitech Opitcal Mouseman). But I'm not sure how well that would work with your mouse. Sorry.

Epox mobos are not the only one to allow "USB legacy support" in BIOS, especially for operating USB mouse/keyboard in BIOS, I have it on my Abit KT7A, saw it on Gigabyte/Asus mobos, and practically all new mobos out there.
USB to PS2 adapter can be a good solution, too http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

My bad! I'm glad I was wrong though! It's a really awesome feature! One that I didn't know about till I got my mobo.
