Are you sure? AFAIK, all Amiga mice are dumb quadrature mice with two
buttons, and their interface consists of 5V power, ground, four quadrature
signals (2 for X and 2 for Y) and two button signals. A Sun mouse has a
proprietary encoded interface that uses three (or four?) wires. I suppose
you could rig one up to a serial port, if you wrote a suitable driver
(might also need a level translator).

I grew up using Commodore equipement at home.
1 Sun Mouse (what was that doing in there?)
I seem to remember that a Sun mouse was quite similar
to an Amiga mouse. In particular, the ones that required
a reflective mouse pad were quite fashionable.
