Hmm, must have been lucky, but I do use a serial mouse at COM1 and it works fine.

So it is not completely unsupported.

Greetings,

I have an older logitech 3-button serial trackball mouse
- very useful for us laptop 9'ers - and I'ld like to use
it.  I notice in plan9.ini(8) that serial mice are:
(currently not supported).  Indeed, when I set mouseport
to COM1, I get a series of something like:
	Unknown mouse, retrying ...

Anything I can do about this?  Looking at the back of
the mouse I see it's a, "Trackman Stationary Mouse;
M/N T-CC2-9F."  Heh, I guess this was before they
started calling them `trackballs.'

Cheers,

Sam
