Yeah, some mice (so called Combo mice) support both PS/2 and Serial -
but they're *totally* different; not all serial mice work with PS/2 and not
all PS/2 mice work over serial.
PS/2 mice only need four pins, but the PS/2 plug has six, so the RS232
serial data on combo mice is mapped onto the two spare pins.

All the best,
