Having just been given a Depraz mouse, I thought it

working on my modern computer. Since the DE9 connector is male rather than
female as you usually see with serial mice, and given its age, I speculate
that it might have a custom protocol; in any rate, plugging it into a
USB-serial converter and and firing up picocom has given me nothing.
Does anyone have a copy of a manual for it, or more information on how to
interface with it? If I knew how it was wired and what the protocol looked
like, I expect I could make an adapter pretty trivially using a
microcontroller.
This might be of some help?
