I think SID card, and the 1351 mouse via the SID card on the same DB9 port is the (expensive) answer. GEOS could also use it, I have the C64 mouse driver package, it should work if they are on the same address (I am not sure they are, but I think BSZ's card is reconfigurable)
That's why I tried to create based on BSZGG's design a cheap and easy solution, anyone can easily do with Max232 IC, but at the time it was relased, the retro mania came in, and the old RS232 PC mouses became rather expensive (not all, but surely not for pennies)
Now 1351 mouse has suimilar price as a PC RS232 mouse 
In fact the resident driver never really worked for me, but maybe it was simply my fault, not BSZGG's.
This is the mouse would fit the best to Plus/4 :-) Cheap, just $200 :-D
