Heh, it would be good if you nip back and hack it!

Beware, there are two versions: USB and serial. Confusingly the serial 
versions were available as USB which simply added a USB-Serial adaptor (I 
added support for this to NetBSD some time ago).

The USB version gives a lot of usbhid devices and reports itself as a 
mouse with missing features (it doesn't work as a wsmouse as is).
