The code that handles the Microspeed mouse support is independant
of whether the HWDIRECT or MRG method is used to access the ADB
devices. The HWDIRECT option does not change any of the code
in adbsys.c that has to do with MicroSpeed mouse detection (or any
other mouse for that matter).
I believe both methods issue a reset to the bus, BTW, but I have
not confirmed this by actually snooping the ADB bus.
