The system isn't all that old, it has a PS/2 mouse connector but I don't have a (decent) PS/2 mouse whereas I do have some very usable Mouse Systems optical mice.
It is nice that optical mice don't need cleaning as often as ball mice.
Yes, before the modern generation of "run on anything" optical mice arrived the old serial Mouse Systems mice were my favourite for this very reason.
It's all up and running now and seems pretty OK running Ubuntu 7.0.4, it has 384Mb of memory, a 40Gb hard disk and an AMD K5 (I *think*) processor.
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Of course.... Its an AMD-K6 in fact.
