This won't work with the IIGS.  It is designed to fit into the 128k
and 512k Mac's mouse port.  These were the 9-pin varieties
before ADB.  You can use it with your IIc or IIc+ instead of
a mouse.  It will also work with an Apple II Mouse card, which
can be used on a IIe.  It will also work on the ROM 01 IIGS
if you deactivate the ADB mouse.  For the ROM 3 IIGS, it
won't work at all in GS/OS.
