Ok but I'm using windows 3.11 and even tried Windows 98.
Yeah that will make a difference for sure. This may mean a driver will be needed. UART 1 should have no problem at all.
Do you have access to a serial mouse at all?

Com 1 is the serial port.
I don't think you should have to install a driver for the mouse as every OS since XP should have the driver already installed by default.
Thinking about it I remember Win 3.1 does have a default mouse driver that may work. The biggest issue with serial mice was the IRQ assigned to the com 1 and 2 sometimes would clash with other IRQ's. You might try using the other com port if com 1 doesn't work with the serial mouse.
