Hi, Tim - <http://www.medium.de/scripts/en/whatsnew_text.cfm?ID=107> says that it works fine with just a PS/2 module. That would have been my educated guess, since the mouse-to-PC interface is pretty standardized, and it wouldn't have made much sense for these guys to screw with a working system. I think I'm going to look into this gadget; looks like it'll come in very useful. Thanks for the tip!
