Yes.  I did one about a year ago, almost from scratch as I couldn't make heads 
nor tails out of the one we had.  I don't know if it ever made it into the 
3.2.8 niros9 repo or not.  It handles either M$ or Logitek serial mice, aauto 
switching the minor protocol diffs between them, and its 2 known warts are, 
the machine won't boot if the mouse isn't working, and I'm not sure the 2nd & 
third button data is in the right bits of a mouse packet.  And of course if 
using it with a stock res-232 deluxe pack, the address will need to be edited, 
mine is at the next 4 byte address block above the stock pack as I have made a 
dual port from mine with a set of piggy-backed chips.

Boisy?
