Laptop and external mouse

Older Thinkpad that I also have a PS2 style true blue MS scroll wheel mouse
attached. Damned if I can find a driver for the mouse that works properly in
that it detects the scroll wheel for scrolling. Seems very odd as the scroll
wheel button can be assigned. Running 98SE.

Is this a question, a riddle, or are you just demented?

??? Thought it pretty clear. Would like the scroll wheel to be detected and
work on an external Microsoft Wheel Mouse attached via the PS2 port to a
laptop and also still have the laptops built-in mouse enabled. Using
Microsoft's Intellimouse driver which even had a mouse style slection screen
enabled the scroll wheels button (e.g. button 3) but didn't "see" the scroll
wheel itself.

Brand named, labeled, Microsoft PS2/Serial Wheel Mouseas using PS2
connection (basic mouse with two buttons and the scroll wheel which also is
a button). Running 98SE on a Thinkpad (Celeron 500) laptop. Tried basic
Intellimouse software came with mouse and as well tried Logitech's later
driver. In both cases only device seen is one "PS2 style" mouse rather than
the expected two mice, e.g. laptops internal mouse and the external mouse.
Hence wondering if there's not some low level hardware fudging going on?

Could be you need to do some BIOS configuring as mentioned he

Follow all of the steps carefully and read it thrice if you need to before doing
anything.

Ignore the assh9ole. Really, he's a ignorant, mean old man with no redeeming
qualities who hangs here just to insult people. It's all he knows how to do.
(98 Guy is just an ignorant idiot, this guy is a real assho9le)
