    It's called a "keyboard mouse" because it has the same mini-DIN connector
    that PS/2 keyboards have. Serial mice have a DB-9 or DB-25 connector
    and plug into a standard serial port. Bus mice are ancient and obsolete;
    they also have a DIN connector, but plug into a dedicated 8-bit ISA
    adapter card provided by MS with the mouse. And USB mice have
    a rectangular USB connector and plug into a USB port.
