The mouse works with FACE on my machine. The mouse not only works with
OpenLook it is required. The mouse driver is manifest as /dev/mouse.
I don't know exactly how it works, but write a program to read this device
and see what it looks like. 

As far as any definitive UNIX documentation, I have never seen any.
The mouse came with some DOS documentation and no UNIX drivers at all.
I called the NSSC number and they were nice enough to send me the software
free of charge, though it was the least they could do.
