Yup, I did put that thang in the kernel that talks Apple Extended
Mouse Protocol.  More recently, Taras Ivanenko added the MicroSpeed
Deluxe MacMouse support, I believe.  As for the freeze problem, I
suspect that either mine or Taras' probe routine doesn't return.  For
example, the Kensington mouse could return only the first few bytes of
the signature string either protocol uses, thus making the mouse
driver wait forever.  I can't say it must be it, but this *could* be.

Yeah, I've been using a Logitech TrackMan for about a year and half.
There are people with Logitech MouseMans (MouseMen?) which apparently
don't work for them, though.  I'm not sure which is newer, but probably
mine is (I bought it brand new about a year and half ago).

I do know the Kensington 4-button mouse (at least one version from the
same period of time when I bought my TrackMan) doesn't work with
MacBSD.  Or at least I couldn't get mine to work.  I returned it for a
full refund and got the Logitech with the money :-p
