I never heard about that type of mouse. What is so interesting about that
type of mouse that it prevents you from buying a 15.00 bucks OEM mouse
speaking todays mouse protocols?

If that mouse works under Windows there might be a chance that it
understands the protocol option "MicroSoft". But from the name
'Honeywell' I guess it is a pre-PC times model.

If you particularly like the ergonomics of that  mouse you might
also try to exchange the innards by means of some hardware hackery.
