A bus mouse was a manufacturer specific card that plugged into an ISA 
slot.  For ISA-based computers, this freed up a com port and possibly 
a low interrupt.  Of course, the implementation varied from 
manufacturer to manufacturer (and I still get lockups on some bus 
mice in some environments but not FreeBSD).
