The Microsoft Mouse has not been tested with the IBM PCjr. Microsoft's
PCjr Booster, which was discontinued, was the only official hardware
that included mouse support (i.e., bus mouse hardware).

We have received customer reports stating that gray-button serial mice
work properly on the PCjr if a special serial adapter is obtained to
make the PCjr serial I/O compatible.

We have not confirmed that Microsoft's new white-button mouse will
work properly with the PCjr using the special adapter.

Solid Rock was a company that provided PCjr accessories, but it has
since gone out of business.
