Oooh. The Amiga mouse pinout is:

1 - Mouse V
2 - Mouse H
3 - Mouse VQ
4 - Mouse HQ
5 - Button 2
6 - Button 1
7 - +5V
8 - GND
9 - Button 3 (unusual)

I suppose the Master Compact pinout is fixed as you described above,
but otherwise it'd been great to have a compatible mouse. I think
Atari ST mice are a bit similar.

Hmm.. of course, a hand-made DB9 to DB9 converter is possible to
manufacture.
