It's really easy to modify a Microsoft InPort mouse to work with the ST.  Been
working fine for me for about a year now.  I don't have the directions on me,
but send some mail, and I'll figure out how I did it and send the directions...
All you need is a DB-9 and a soldering iron, no drivers necessary.
