Did you try

        moused -t mouseman -p /dev/cuaa0

and it didn't work?

I think this mouse can be hooked to the PS/2 mouse port.  Have you
ever tried that?  Did it work?  If it didn't work, it is definitely
broken.

I also would like to bring your attention to the small connector which
sits between the mouse and the serial port connector.  It converts the
round 6 pin connector to the D-sub 9 pin connector.

You must use the connector which comes with your mouse.  You cannot
use a connector from another manufacturer, e.g. Microsoft.  These
connectors are just incompatible.  Even Logitech does not provide
backward compatibility in these connectors; new connectors from
Logitech do not work with older Logitech products!
