The IBM Async card can do this... A few other cards can too...
Yes, the Microsoft Bus Mouse card has a jumper labelled "XT SLOT 8".
Interesting. Yep... there it is. I never noticed. Just an
arbitrary jumper into the 40-pin microcontroller that does all
the work.
*There's* something to stuff into slot 8 of a Luggable XT!
And if you get tired of it, you can convert the Bus Mouse to
work as an Amiga Mouse (just needs a new cable or a pin swabber;
the signals are 100% compatible).
