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!
