I recently acquired a few Toshiba Equium 5160D PCs with the following specs:
Pentium 166
64 MB RAM
WD 644A Hard Drive (Some have Maxtor HDs)
Toshiba Floppy & CD-ROM
Integrated Intel NIC/ATI Video/Creative Labs Sound
I am running a fresh install of Windows 98 SE on them but have run into a problem with the mouse. When the hard drive is being accessed, the mouse cursor moves really slow and jumps across the screen when I move it. I have not been able to figure out exactly what the problem is or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the help...

upgrade to the latest mouse driver from microsoft..and also...put the mouse setting about 3/4 of the way in the speed and that should solve that problem....
Better yet, scrap Win98 and install Linux on them

Hey PaTiNsAnE
2 things...there is a bios update that takes care of the usb issue...unless you have your mobo O/Ced.....and also try the latest update released for the intellimouse last month...made mine run smoother...
