If you have a serial mouse, all you need is a recent Microsoft mouse driver.
The Logitech mouse faithfully implements the MS protocol and Microsoft
drivers are happy with it.

To my considerable surprise, Microsoft is pretty casual about passing around
their mouse drivers, most likely because they update them about every two
weeks and new versions of their software never work with old drivers.  if
you have one of their mouse-oriented products like Word or Windows, they
include a mouse driver.  Otherwise, they seem to have sanctioned putting the
drivers on BBSes.
