Got it, thanks. 8 bits plus parity, you don't see that very often.
A quick scan confirms that this would be doable. It's a fair amount of new software,
plus a different host connection. 7 pin mini-DIN connectors are readily available so the
simplest answer would be to put such a connector on the board and rely on a cable with
connectors at both ends, but I don't know how hard those are to find.
As I said before, I'm not likely to do such a project, but anyone who's interested
can use the existing designs as a starting point.

I remember those. I thought Jonathan was talking
about the round ones, but I suppose the protocol is identical. There was also a tablet,
same interface I believe. I used one of those to trace some topo maps.
Does anyone know of protocol documentation for these devices?

The normal mouse specs are in VCB02 Video Subsystem Technical Manual,
EK-104AA-TM-001 (appendix C).
The LK201 is in there too.
