Basically if a serial mouse is not designed to work with both PS/2 and serial it won't work on a PS/2 port with or without a converter. I would say the mouse is a plain ole serial mouse with no ps/2 capabilities whatsoever. (Most newer serial mouse have both protocols built in).
Has it worked on other OS (eg Rh7.3 or earlier)? If so, converter's probably stuffed.
