Could someone tell me the ps/2 mouse pinout, especially if it
is a 9 pin D connector?  I was looking at a trackball that
claims to be for PS/2.  It has about a foot long cord, ending
in a DB9.  I want to connect one to a non-PS/2 as a serial
mouse.  One book I saw sounds like the keyboard and mouse have
the same, 4 pin connector.  This trackball definitely has
a 9 pin connector.

Thanks for any help on this.
