- If it's a bus mouse, sure. PC mice come in three flavors - serial mice,
- PS/2 mice, and bus mice. The only one which can be rewired to fully
- emulate an Amiga mouse is the bus type. You can use a serial mouse on
- your Amiga, but you give up two things: first, a (the?) serial port,
- and second, the ability to use the mouse with any games or applications
- which poll the mouse hardware directly - i.e., almost all games.

-
- I think there's a document on Aminet's hardware/hacks directory that
- provides this information.
