Nobody said "without the controller card"!

If you enable its slot (normally 4) via the control panel, it would be
accessible.  Whether or not the Finder, for example, would use it is a
separate question.  As I said, there is no point in it, since the GS
mouse comes standard and works better.  (It appears by default as a slot
4 mouse to software that is looking for an AppleMouse II, so existing
mouse-operated Apple //e software should continue to function okay.)
