The PS2 to Serial conversion cable or plug is very much tied to the object it is connecting to. You cannot use any converter with any device. They just don't work.I/O is the key in many other aspects. Have you ever tried an optical mouse? If so, would ever want to go back to a ball mouse? I don't think so. Without a PS/2 connector or USB on the Qx0's it will be hard to find a mouse for the serial port in general, let alone a hi-tech mouse (although cordless and optical are fairly cheap nowadays).It should be possible to use a ps2 to serial converter. USB though is a major problem.
