Kin,
An "InPort Mouse" isn't really PS/2. It is a very old Microsoft Bus
Mouse from the early 1980s. I believe they used to use /dev/inportbm or
similar. They are still supported in the 2.6 kernel, but I haven't
dealt with one to be honest.
File location:
<kernel-src>/drivers/input/mouse/inport.c
Description:
Inport (ATI XL and Microsoft) busmouse driver
I'd start with modprobing it and seeing what device nodes it uses and go
from there. Google might be your best bet, as I doubt many people have
access to this kind of old hardware.
Cheers,
Mark
