I suspect that you have an ARTEC mouse currently been sold at discount
variety stores (even in Cairns) for $4.95.

It actually isn't a bad mouse, except for one small drawback, the only
drivers in existence are DOS and Windows 3.

It is not compatible with anything (in spite of its own Dos software
sign-on claiming to be operating in "Microsoft mouse mode")/

Pitch it and buy a mouse compatible with something that Linux knows about.
