I have a Microsoft PS/2 mouse, the old kind, not the new super zoomy ergonomic
kind.  It is an InPort mouse with a little adapter box with an InPort socket
and a cord with a PS/2 mouse plug.  It works fine.  I don't know if they sell
the adapter box with the new mouse, but you could always call Microsoft
and ask.
