The reason I suspect it might be possible is I dug up

protocol.
Although I don't have the proper MouseSystems mouse for my Indigo (I
bought it sans keyb/mouse, sigh), I do have a Type-3 mouse for my Sun 386i
which is, for intents and purposes, pretty much identical to the
MouseSystems optical mouse I use on my linux workstation... I guess
MouseSystems must have made mice for all manner of machine
applications. Good for them I suppose.
