well, to answer my own question, it appears that the data generated by
wheel motion doesn't make it though the converter box.  A test kernel
which prints out the mouse data shows the exact same data as a "normal"
sun mouse and moving the wheel doesn't cause any data.  So unless there is
an initialization string which must make it to the mouse it looks like I'm
out of luck.....
