I knew the name sounded familiar, now I know why. It's in the Whitechapel
Milliard Gargantubrain (that's what the MG in MG1 stands for, apparently)
technical manual.
If it's the same mouse, it's a pretty dumb unit, and outputs the 4
quadrature signals (2 for X, 2 for Y) on separate pins. It's a bit like an
atari ST/amiga/PC bus mouse. Of course there may have been versions with
built-in electronics to make them PC serial mice...
