I have an original "Dove Soap Bar" Microsoft Mouse.  I called
Microsoft yesterday and asked for an adapter to take the round
"Inport" connector (that connects to my bus card) and convert it to
the standard 9-pin serial connector.  The phone response was "sorry,
we don't make one, you will have to buy a new mouse".  After finding
my mouse manual, it shows a picture of a adapter that can do the
trick.  Does someone know the pin-out or procedure to make the
necessary conversion?
