IIRC the optical three-button sun mice were made by Mouse Systems. Unfortunately, Mouse Systems appears to now be a part of the German conglomerate KYE, and no longer selling that style of mouse retail. My first PC mouse was the serial version (RS-232 9-pin DIN) of the exact same mouse design. I would not be surprised if the Sun version of the Mouse Systems mice were RS-232 mice with an unusual pin configuration to keep you buying the pricer version from Sun. Many PS/2 mice can pretend to be a serial mouse with a simple wire adapter (frequently shipped with the mouse). You might be able to find the pinout for the Sun mouse connecter, and construct an equivalent wire adapter for a PS/2 mouse. Warning: the resolution might be a little off, and I wouldn't expect to get anything past three buttons (i.e. no mouse wheel). Alternately, I think Sun still sells their old-style mice. They're probably not cheap. Best of Luck -Gleef -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
