Type 6 would be the Crossbow mouse, I believe.  *IS* there an optical
Crossbow?  I've never seen one.

On the other hand, if this is a newer Sun machine with USB ports and a
USB Crossbow mouse, then theoretically you ought to be able to plug in
any three-button non-wheel PC USB optical mouse, and it should Just
Work.  I can attest that plugging a USB Crossbow into a PC just
automatically works, with no need to install a specific driver, so the
reverse should also be true.

If anyone knows differently, please speak up.
