   I've just found it. This was my first modded serial mouse, from 1990s. Its   
   details are somewhere deep in my website (http://cbm.ficicilar.name.tr/). If   
   you adjust the variable resistor correctly, it does not interfere with the   
   keyboard.   
      
   BTW, at the time I wasn't aware of the Amiga mouse protocol; apparently I had   
   reinvented it, but in reverse directions. Basically, both decode the raw data   
   from the photodiodes. For Amiga compatibility you need to switch pins 1 and 2.

   Related programs and such are in the parent directory.
