Amiga and MSX-mouses are indeed not compatible.
I believe the X/Y-movement is, just like on PC, delivered to the PC in an
analog signal, and not a digital signal.
So you'll need a AD-converter, something like ReMouse, but then for an Amiga
mouse... Since that doesn't exist it might be easier (and cheaper) to just
buy a PC-mouse for a few dollars and connect it to your MSX with a
ReMouse-alike device.
