PC Enterpises JR-Bus Mouse

Trying to get my Jr Bus mouse sidecar and mouse functioning.
I tried the MS mouse driver but it doesn't work.
Guessing there was a custom driver but I haven't been able to find documentation online to confirm.
Any help pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sonny
