I recently picked up a real nice surplus trackball.
I want to make it look like a serial mouse if possible.
I figure I can dead-bug a uart inside to send characters
for the four directions and the two buttons.  However,
I need to know what the Microsoft Serial Mouse puts out.
What baud rate, stop bits, parity, bits per character,
and of course, what characters does it send?

Of course, mail replys to: ihnp4!twitch!dud
thanks
