If you catch the right sales a Fry's you can do it for about $20 and
have it work under MacOS to boot. They have had, I think, an Inland
Pro USB adaptor for about $12. Make sure it's the version 2 board
that says it's "Open Host Controller" compatible and it will work
under MacOS 8.6 or later.
For the mouse I found a no-name 3-button USB mouse for $4.50. Works fine.
