Multiple PS/2 mice won't work without a comercial adapter at the moment. However, you can hook up to 2 serial mice and one PS/2 mouse at once.

Some PS/2 mice work with an adapter to be serial (most that do come with the adapter).

If you haven't hacked the mice already, get some serial ones to hack instead. Wal-mart has Belkin mice for $10 that are serial and PS/2.

: I see on the Interface page that there are devices for sale that allow what I need, but in a word... yikes, the price! I'd need two Y-adapters to hook up three PS/2 devices.

: The Interface page says that there has been no success with BYO circuits, but I know those pages often are out of date. Has there been any progress?
