  Not that I know of.  The connector looks very like a PS/2 mouse, but I
don't think the signals are compatible.

  I have seen them in electronics surplus places, but I'm not sure how
recently.  [I also have an ATI video card from about 1991 with a bus
mouse port on it.  When the original mouse that came with it died, the
few bus mice I could find were very expensive, so I've been disabling
that port and using serial mice since then.]
