I don't know anything about Mac Plus mice, so I can't say anything about 
that, but I assume it is not an ADB mouse, otherwise you wouldn't ask, 
would you?
Apart from that, the GS does not support game port input for a mouse. I 
doubt that you could get a driver for it somewhere, but even if you 
could, if would almost certainly be an 8-bit driver, that would be 
useless under GS/OS.

Yes, but this is not a game port problem, it's a driver problem. All GS 
programs expect the standard ADB mouse.

No, no, and dunno.
You can just try this out. There won't be any damage If you make sure 
that the computer and the monitors are off while you connect and 
disconnect them.

No, not "special", just one with the right connectors.

The rest I can't answer, except I must have missed the post about the 
harddrive connected to the floppy port...
