I have avoided jumping into the discussion because I'm not well versed on
the internals of the 8bit Atari, but I do know that it has to be possible.

Both Total Control Systems' GOE and USA Media's Diamond GOE are designed
to be used with an ST mouse.  I have the TCS demo disk and it works quite
nicely with the mouse.  I realize that this doesn't help you solve the 
problem of HOW it works, but it is possible.

BTW, USA Media (formerly Merrill Ward and Associates) was/is selling an
ST mouse with their GOE system for an additional $39.99.  I have seen
them for approximately the same price mail order from companies that
specialize in Atari hardware and software.
