Using a Bus Mouse on a computer that uses an Atari or Amiga compatible joystick port:

The following is a pinout of the Logitec Bus Mouse, the Microsoft InPort Mouse should use the same pinout, minus the middle button.

Wiring according logitech documentation

Pinout:

       3  4  5  6

          1  2

(looking at male end of the mouse's connector)

I'll add more information on this conversion later. Note I have not tested all combinations yet, there may be errors, I will correct any mistakes as I'm able to test this wiring. As of this writing, I have tested (and corrected) the Amiga wiring, and have a Logitec mouse working on the Amiga 500. I have not tried the InPort mouse as of yet, but I expect it to work the same.
