Don't think so. The mouse you have on your sun uses a 6 wire connection.
The signals are different then the signals on the amiga mouse which uses
all 9 pins. +5/GND/4quad lines/3 button lines = 9. I don't know how sun
gets these funtions onto 6 pins but they must be encoding the information
in a different way.

The last I heard, sun charges $150 for a replacement mouse.
