Hmmm, now that sounds familiar to me. Is it a tiny little card? If so, it did 
indeed come with GEOS and you had to put it in the //e to get the mouse to 
work. The copy of GEOS I got at the time had a mouse included and had an option 
to get 3.5 disks which I did even though I only had 5.25 drives at the time. 
My copy of GEOS is around here somewhere and I got several other BS 
applications for it as well.
