I connected MS IntelliMouse Optical (tried all ports) and it light up at boot but CTMouse cannot find it. Only with option /M it detects COM1 port and enable mouse cursor but it doesn't move. It seems that SuperIO IT8721F has enabled COM1 and PS/2 but they are not wired out. Maybe could be tapped somewhere on PCB...

I also tried Bret's USB drivers but they are obsolete as supports only UHCI while this has OHCI and EHCI. Panasonic USBASPI.SYS detects both OHCI and EHCI buth hangs at flashdisk detection. If there's not flashdisk it list 3 USB devices with VID:PID and breaks USB legacy keyboard so system is not controllable anymore.

I tried network and it works fine, I can e.g. play internet radio via MPXPlay.
ACPI shutdown also works.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
