I have a Microsoft serial / PS/2 mouse and I am thinking of buying a
SOTA VGA card with a round connector for a bus mouse (I think). Can I
use the serial mouse with an appropriate extension cord or do I have
to buy a bus mouse?

I have got basically two answers (guesses) from several people:

   1)	"yes, [Microsoft] serial and bus mouse are identical,
	only the connector is different"

   2)	"I'm not sure but I think it won't work"


Does anyone have experience about the SOTA VGA card itself, i.e., does
the mouse interface work at all (at least with a bus mouse)?

PS.	Moving the Logitech mouse very quickly back and forth may
	freeze the mouse in Windows 3.0 if you use Logitech driver.
	With Microsoft driver this does not happen. [This was told by
	my dealer, I cannot confirm it since I do not have Logitech
	mouse.]
