I know for a fact that mice designed to work with the AT&T PCs/Olivetti PCs
will work with the ST.  I have used an Atari mouse on an AT&T PC6300 with the
only modification being to make an adapter to put the proper signals on the
proper pins.  Hence, doing the reverse, I assume it would be possible to do the
same for the ST.  The Logitech Logimouse for the AT&T is a very nice unit...
