Problem:
   IBM DisplayWrite 4 does not recognize the Bus mouse with Microsoft
InPort Device Interface. DisplayWrite 4 supports the serial mouse and
older Bus mouse (with a 8255 chip), but does not have an upgraded
mouse driver for the InPort interface Bus mouse.
   This problem also occurs with IBM TopView.

Response:
   Because DisplayWrite 4 has custom-made pointing device drivers, you
should contact your IBM dealer or have the IBM dealer contact
IBM dealer support.
