There's a big gotcha with uSoft bus mouse - if you have a monochrome pc
monitor. Plug the monitor into the mouse socket by mistake (same connector!)
and the monitor blows up. This happened to a colleague using an ITT Xtra PC;
don't know if it happens to IBM kit - maybe someone out there would like
to try it :-)

PS - I prefer optical mice - smoother operation, since no slippage.
PPS - our cat prefers live mice.
