Besides the obvious physical differences (i.e., an added card, different
connectors), how do a serial mouse and a bus mouse differ?  I am interested
in the differences from a programmers point.  Specifically, I have a 386
running AT&T UNIX 3.2 and XWIN 1.1, and AT&T only offers a bus mouse driver
for their system.  However, I currently have a serial mouse.  I will be
getting the source for their driver soon, and need to convert it for a Logitec
serial mouse.  Has anyone done this or got any pointers?
