I am still interested in hearing from the knowledgeable folks if an
adapter board (capable of installing a ps2 style mouse into an ISA slot)
exists.

I do not know if such a beast exists and even if it did, it would be
hard to find it in the regular channels. Your best bet would be to
scout the used computer stores (as well as the used computer parts
street hawkers) in the Lam Rd. area.
You might have better luck in finding serial port adapters and use a
serial mouse.

If you want a ps2mouse or kybrd on a old din connector, a din male to
ps2 female cable is available. A ps2 female to Din male is also
available. This allows connecting old device to new mobo or vice
versa. Used both and they work well.

On a related note the usb to ps2 does not work very reliably for me.
After booting the mouse and keybrd is never recognised. One has to
unplug and replug, the keyboard will start but not the mouse.
Also it does not work at all with a KVM switch.
The result is I have to use multiple mice, or junk the KVM for a
newer version.

If you want a ps2mouse or kybrd on a old din connector, a din male to
ps2 female cable is available. A ps2 female to Din male is also
available. This allows connecting old device to new mobo or vice
