    The MSX Mouse is compatible with very few devices. Some Sony video 
equipment (like a picture computer I have) and NEC PC-98 computers. Ah, the 
Roland S series of samplers (S-50, S-750) uses the same mouse/trackball.

    You can build an adapter with a small microcontroller. The schematic is 
around the web, I can send you if you need.
