Probably not. The mouse should certainly not go into the first
serial port on an SRM system; that's the serial console. Normally
the mouse would be plugged into the PS/2 mouse port; I don't know
if there's a connector for it on systems with the AT keyboard
connector rather than the PS/2 keyboard connector.
