Having just been given a Depraz mouse, I thought it would be f= un to get it working on my modern computer. Since the DE9 connector is male= rather than female as you usually see with serial mice, and given its age,= I speculate that it might have a custom protocol; in any rate, plugging it= into a USB-serial converter and and firing up picocom has given me nothing= .

Does anyone have a copy of a manual for it, = or more information on how to interface with it? If I knew how it was wired= and what the protocol looked like, I expect I could make an adapter pretty= trivially using a microcontroller.

This might be of some help?
