     Here is a snip from the newsgroup FAQs "Input Devices" page:

026- What is the pinout for the IIe, //c, Laser and similar 
     9-pin mouses? 

The IIe/IIc/Mac Plus mouses can plug into the //c or IIc+ Game/Mouse Port or, 
on a IIe, into the 9-pin socket of a Mouse Card. When plugged into the //c or 
IIc+, several Game Port pins are redefined for use with a mouse. 
  
  

 Dsub-9 Female Socket on Computer    Dsub-9 Male Plug on Mouse 
     ,---------------------.          ,---------------------. 
     \  5   4   3   2   1  /          \  1   2   3   4   5  /
