If you want to go to the trouble of digging around with a program like
ADB prober, I can probably make up some patches to the ADB driver to get
it to work. I managed to get my Mouse Systems A3 mouse more or less
working. (I was going to work on more robust support for it, but it
managed to die about 2 weeks ago, I'll have to send it in to have it
repaired or replaced).
Later.
