Overall, the Microsoft Mouse conversion projects are a raw deal in my opinion.
First, you have to find a DB-9 connector that will plug into the ST port (look
and see what I mean) then you have to cut the cable.

Besides, there's a mouse rennaissance going on.  Something called the Golden
Image mouse is supposedly a MS repackaged.  There is one based on the Genius
Mouse (Yechh) another on the Amiga's (yechh) the infrared cordless from
Practical Solns. (yayy) and one from Logitech (yesssss).  Generally, they
are all $60 or less, except the cordless.
