+.TP
+USB mouse
+USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports are present on most modern
+computers. Several devices can be plugged into this bus, including
+mice and keyboards.  Support for USB mice is platform specific.
+.TP
+PS/2 mouse
+The PS/2 mouse is an intelligent device and may have more than
+three buttons and a wheel or a roller.
+The PS/2 mouse is usually compatible with the original PS/2 mouse from IBM
+immediately after power up.
+The PS/2 mouse with additional features requires a specialized
+initialization procedure to enable these features.
+Without proper initialization, it behaves as though it were an ordinary
+two or three button mouse.
+.TP
+Serial mouse
+There have been numerous serial mouse models from a number of
+manufactures.
+Despite the wide range of variations, there have been relatively
+few protocols (data format) with which the serial mouse talks
+to the host computer.
+
+The modern serial mouse conforms to the PnP COM device specification
+so that the host computer can automatically detect the mouse
+and load an appropriate driver.
+This driver supports this specification and can detect
+popular PnP serial mouse models on most platforms.
+.TP 
+Bus mouse
+The bus mouse connects to a dedicated interface card in an expansion
+slot.
+Some older video cards, notably those from ATI, and integrated I/O
+cards may also have a bus mouse connector.
+.PP
+The interface type of the mouse can be determined by looking at the connector 
+of the mouse.
+USB mice have a thin rectangular connector.
+PS/2 mice are equipped with a small, round DIN 6-pin connector.
+Serial mouse have a D-Sub female 9- or 25-pin connector.
+Bus mice have either a D-Sub male 9-pin connector 
+or a round DIN 9-pin connector.
+Some mice come with adapters with which the connector can 
+be converted to another.  If you are to use such an adapter,
+remember that the connector at the very end of the mouse/adapter pair is 
+what matters.
