  Those bus mice? I worked on a friend's machine
that had one: A Xerox XT
 class running Windows 1.0. 640x400x2 mode I believe. Oh yeah, they were
 called Inport Bus mice, ran off their own 8-bit card. Not a bad mouse for
 it's time. 
The BUS Mouse was ... err IS ... a very useful device - I
used to put them in my PCs (even Pentium) until the build
PS/2 mouse became standard. Serial mice need serial ports,
and a PC still has only a few :(
