I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know if the DEC VSXXX mouse (VAXstation/early
AXP) signaling protocol is shared
by anything else (Sun mice, for instance). I've got the LKA, so all I need is a mouse
substitute.

Generally, the protocols for the simpler mice are quite similar, but
there are differences. I've written the Linux driver for this mouse
and its protocol is not compatible with anything else. So if you want
to use such a mouse on eg. a PeeCee, you either need to write a proper
driver for it (if the operating system doesn't have one), or put a
microcontroller in between for protocol conversion to PS2.

VAR/X out side of Philadelphia has 'em for a reasonable price.
Just a satisfied customer and ex-coworker back in my DEC days.
