True, but like Tony (?) said a while back, most modern PC mice are very
integrated, so separating the quadrature from the serial converter really
isn't feasible, one will have to eventually add some discrete electronics
anyway. Right?

This solution is a bit more lucurious, though, since the PIC will take the
wheel button and turn it into an Amiga-digestable format.
