I would like to have a couple more DEC Mice for some

The protocols for the DEC mice and the standard PS/2 mice don't seem
to be that much different.
Is it possible to use an arduino to translate? PS/2 mouse output and
then send it to the vaxstation so that will it mimic a classic DEC mouse?
Anything is possible. :-)? I have often wondered about using a modern PC
mouse on a VaxStation 3100 but never got around to trying anything. I
never thought about the Arduino route.? While it seems like overkill, I
would
bet it would work quite well.
