My new old stock in box hardware purchase, oh and a cable.
The first serial mouse I bought turns out to probably be defective.
I found this: https://vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDeta ... noapp=true
On ebay, for an affordable price and I jumped at it.
It says on the back it requires Windows 3.1 or later and a something pin serial port, I'm assuming it's 9 as that is standard.
I will try to preserve the box as well as I can for the collectors value and the mouse as well, though it will be used.
This will solve the only problem with using my T2100 as a desktop with an external CRT monitor, and PS/2 keyboard
I bought a modem cable from a local "The Soruce" earlier today, one sid eis DB9 and the other is DB25,
So I will use the DB25 side on the T2100 because I'm not planning on printing anything, and the DB9 side on the 4600, so I can have the DB9 on the T2100 to be used with the mouse.

Well, that's certainly one way. This method is $4.99 at Staples:

True, but I don't know how it would handle the input from the mouse, whenever I hook up a ps/2 mouse, and move it, all I get is beeps, and no cursor movement.
The link only works for the person who purchased it, i.e. you.
I had a Home Mouse back in the day to replace the cheap crappy one that came with my new Pentium. I bought another Home Mouse within the last couple of years but that came with Arcade instead of the Entertainment Pack. I guess it depended on when it was purchased.
