It is true that the Sun and PC versions are identical except for the
front sticker and the wiring harness.  However, I don't have much faith
that it would work on a mac though.  Noting the specs for their IDB bus,
it doesn't look too promising.  At least, you will need a different mac
driver.

Mouse systems does make Apple Mice.  Anyone have such a beast?
