I did this quite some time back Luis, a decade or more. In my case using 
an extra set of chips in a deluxe rs-232 pack.  With an old 3 button 
DeXxa mouse, its a pleasure to use.  The driver is in nitros9. But IIRC, 
you will need to hack the address as neither my mouse, or the first port 
in that pack are living at the OEM addresses. IIRC, mine are at $FF68 
and $FF6C.  IIRC...
