The DEC Mouse pinout won't help you much, as there's firmware inside
the mouse that's different between DEC mice and PC-clone mice and
this firmware must be correct to talk to the respective operating
systems.

Any DEC reseller or DECdirect (1-800-DECDIRECT in North America)
can sell you a new mouse.  Alternatively, I've got used DEC Mice,
used DEC Keyboards, used DEC Monitor cables, and MMJ cables and adapters
for sale (as do most DEC resellers).
