Never heard of this one. As Colin said, if you are willing to
spend some time with ADB Parser it is probably not too difficult
to add support.

The patch for this is at:
ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/outgoing/jpw/kernels/source/adb.ii.patches.diff
It basically patches all of the interrupt time code for the II
series machines. There was a bug where no more than 2 bytes would
be read in, so the addional info for an extended mouse was
garbage.

Let us know what happens with this model after you apply the
above patch. It shouldn't be _hanging_ like this, regardless of
the protocol the mouse is trying to use, however. Unless, I
suppose, it thinks the mouse is something else and is waiting for
a response to something. Anyway, please let me know what the
results are.
