How to find a Mouse Systems PCMouse compatible mouse:

Most modern mice are not Mouse Systems compatible. There are still
some serial mice available in stores, however, that claim Mouse
Systems compatibility. Many cheap 3-button serial mice from the 1990s
had a switch on the bottom to switch between Microsoft and Mouse 
Systems PCMouse compatibility mode. If you have one of these just 
flip the switch and you are good to go. Other serial mice that did 
not have this switch can be placed in Mouse Systems mode by holding 
down the first mouse button when the computer is powered on and/or 
during mouse initialization. Some other serial mice (especially cheap 
ones) used the same hardware but left out the switch, these can be 
set to mouse systems compatibility mode by connecting pin 3 to pin 8 
of the IC chip if you know what your are doing. Some are also 
switchable using software but the methods for doing so can vary.
