How would you plug a CGA monitor (D9) into a bus mouse

Because the GREEN-EYED Microsoft Bus Mouse was NOT a mini-DIN!
Later on, all sorts of atrocities were committed. But the original
GREEN-EYED Microsoft Bus Mouse had a male DE9 that plugged into a female
DE9 connector on the original Microsoft Bus Mouse card.
The GREEN-EYED Microsoft SERIAL mouse was available with a DB25.
