Issue
What driver do I use to install the Port Noteworthy 2-button PS/2 USB Mouse (NWUSBMM-1) for use within Windows 95? Can I use a "USB to PS/2" converter?
Resolution

The NWUSBMM-1 was designed for use with the Microsoft Windows 98 Operating System only. Toshiba does not provide a driver for this device.

  • The Port Noteworthy 2-button PS/2 USB Mouse is a Windows 98, USB 1.1 compliant device. The NWUSBMM-1 does not come with drivers for use within Windows 95 nor does the OS provide them natively.
  • Using a "USB to PS/2" converter for use within Windows 95 will still require a driver for the device which Windows 95 does not natively provide. Neither does Port or Toshiba provide these drivers.

COMMENTS:
Windows 98SE provides native support for this device as a USB Human Interface Device which utilizes the HIDDEV.INF driver (generally located in the C:\Windows\INF directory).

Refer to the Port Noteworthy MOBILE Mini Mouse literature packaged with the Port Device for System Requirements, Installation, and Use.
