Overview
Pico rt mouse is an open-source printed circuit board by hanshuebner, from the hanshuebner/rt-mouse repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board with 8 parts on 53 nets.
It is built around the MAX3232ID. Its parts include 4 capacitors, 2 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.

README.mdUSB Mouse Adapter for IBM 6150 (RT PC)
This repository contains firmware for a Raspberry Pi Pico to act as an adapter to make a USB mouse usable with the IBM 6150 (RT PC).
In addition to the Pi Pico, a MAX3232 and a couple of capacitors are required to adapt the serial port of the Pico to RS232 levels.
Schematics are provided in the pcb/ directory. I've not actually designed a PCB as I believe that nobody would care, and my bread- boarded prototype suffices for me.
The research/ directory contains information about the mouse protocol, historic header files and mouse emulation implementations that I used for testing before implementing the Pico firmware.

Questions
What parts does the Pico rt mouse use?
8 parts, built around the MAX3232ID. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pico rt mouse KiCad files?
From the hanshuebner/rt-mouse repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pico-rt-mouse.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/pico-rt-mouse.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pico rt mouse design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
