Damn. Did you try Microsoft mouse DOS driver? Version 9.0, I think, was the latest. Did you try regular non-optical wired mouse with ball? Not sure if those were even made with USB connections.

If mouse is unusable, this limits the DOS functionality. Otherwise, this thin client looks almost perfect.
