You could get Mouse Systems optical mice for more than just Sun equipment,
but they were ubiquitous for years with the Type 4 keyboard (Type 5 mice
are rounder, have purple accessorizing and, IIRC, use a different mouse pad).
If your optical mouse has a DIN-8, it's probably for a Sun. If it has an
Amiga connector, it's probably for an Amiga. I think I saw a Mouse Systems
optical mouse this weekend at Dayton with a DB-25 on it, for PeeCee.
