There are basically 3 "species" of mouse:
1. The serial mouse, fits into a rs232 serial port.
2. PS/2 mice, fits into a secondary (auxillary) port
on the keyboard controller on the Motherboard, often
one of those little round DIN like connectors now
also often used for keyboards.
3. Bus mice, comes with their own (propietary) bus
adapter (and plug).
