In all the ms 
true Microsoft mice I have seen the bus and serial mice are the sam
However there is an adaptor that changes the bus mouse output on the
mouse to a serial output.  It is a little 3" long item X 1/2 X 1/2"
It has the electronics in it.  So if you have to cut any cables on a serial 
mouse I'd say that it won't work.  W/a true MS mouse you just unplug it
and wire yr own adaptor.  

PS It must be really cheap to make a MS mouse.  They are mechanical w/
switch contacts, so there is almost nothing in them.  At least the Atari went w/optoelectronics.
